Firstly I have to say that although on the surface it seemed a great idea, the reality for me wasn't great. In my last job a fellow colleague definitely had the Google Docs bug and encouraged us all to use it for sharing documents. I realise that the main advantage of Google Docs, enables you to access your documents anywhere and make edits, along with the provision to work collaboratively and share documents. However I have to agree with Adian's post on Google Docs, as although Google provides a "lite" version, it doesn't allow for the same functionality as Word. And this is the main disadvantage I find with some of these Online products.

Thirdly I know that I will end up using Google Docs as more collaboratively programs develop with other librarians in Cambridge and maybe even within my College, but I have to say that although its useful in a limited way, I'm still not a fan.
