Online Productivity Web-based Applications for Day-To-Day Use

Tools such as Zoho Writer www.zohowriter.com and Google Docs www.writely.com are incredibly useful to our clientele. Now our patrons can create resumes, save them to an on line source that is available at any computer through the web, easily post the resume to an online job application and never have to spend a dime on printouts, floppy disks or CDs. To quote Maryland Libraries Learning 2.0:

One large benefit to web-based applications it that they eliminate the need
to worry about different software versions or file types as you email documents
or move from PC to PC. Another bonus is that they easily accommodate
collaboration by allowing multiple users to edit the same file (with versioning)
and provide users the ability to save and convert documents as multiple file
types
