EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES: Matthew B. Hoy and Tara J. Brigham, Column Editors

Taking Advantage of Google's Web-Based Applications and Services

Pages 202-210 | Published online: 15 Apr 2014
 

Abstract

Google is a company that is constantly expanding and growing its services and products. While most librarians possess a “love/hate” relationship with Google, there are a number of reasons you should consider exploring some of the tools Google has created and made freely available. Applications and services such as Google Docs, Slides, and Google+ are functional and dynamic without the cost of comparable products. This column will address some of the issues users should be aware of before signing up to use Google's tools, and a description of some of Google's web applications and services, plus how they can be useful to librarians in health care.
