The use for Google Docs that springs immediately to my mind concerns an annual event on campus: the Marymount Career Fair and Expo. While preparing the final report on the event, I was looking for a way to suggest that the Transfer Center and Public Relations coordinate their efforts.
This was the first year that we enlisted the help of the Public Relations department and Institutional Development. It would have been very helpful to have a central "invitation" list so that we could all see who had been invited, what their profession is, and whether or not they responded with a yes or a no. Google Docs would be a great place to store that updatable list! We could also invite the club sponsors (Pre-Med Club, Business Club, etc.) to let us know who they had recently asked to speak at their club so we wouldn't ask the same people for more of their time. The sponsors could also have access to the list.
Google Docs would also be a great place to store assignments for Student Workers that assist in the Transfer Center. That way we have a running list of things to be done as well as a record of when they were completed.

You can tell when people are naturally creative and resourceful. MaryElla, you were able to quickly relate this activity to your work. You have all these ideas of using Google Docs as a tool to invite people involved on a project to a common page and get apprised of its progress.
During my time here at Marymount I have been so impressed with sheer amount of STUFF everyone here has to do and how well you all are able to cope! Many of the things we're learning in Web 2.0 could be used to make our lives so much easier if we can just make ourselves adjust to the changes and use the new tools available to us.
