Thing # 7 - Cool Google Tools

I very much like Google Tools and one can spend a lot of time just going through all it has to offer. I have already set up and use my iGoogle homepage. There are so many gadgets to choose from that my homepage can change quite often. I set up my google calendar to help me remember appointments, birthdays, holidays, etc. I have already used google maps. It is amazing the details the images show. I have set up a few alerts and google documents has much to offer. There are many possibilities how the google tools can be used in the library. For instance, the calendar can be used to announce programs, author visits, and the like of events going on in the library. A good "Google" reference source was given to me by one of the Technology Integration Specialist on campus. The title is "Google Tools for Teaching and Learning" by Tammy Worcester.
