Now that Catch Up week is behind us, I've decided to start catching up.
Because I'm a rebel. or perhaps because with so much coursework that needs doing, typing anything else, even if it is work related, feels like procrastination. But then I saw that my colleague was fully 5 Things ahead of me, and I suddenly decided it was a competition.
So, what to say about Google Calendar
Google Calendar is a calendar....
There doesn't really seem to be a huge amount left to say on the subject to be honest. it's a free calendar, which is nice, and one that you can access from anywhere, which is useful, and other people can add to it, making it somewhat like every other calendar.
It's probably something I'd appreciate more if I was in a more senior position. Currently any meeting etc I have to attend are automatically added to my Outlook calendar, and as all university staff are on this system, a second one seems fairly superfluous. And any social engagements are usually stored in the brain of my fiancée, who will then remind me with as much accuracy as a computer would anyway.
And whilst the recommended blog did indeed have some good ideas on how to use Google Calendar in a library, we've yet to convince management to update our browser from Internet Explorer 6, let alone switch over to something useful such as Chrome, so I shouldn't imagine we'll be able to implement any of the ideas here. At least not until I'm running the place.
Is there anyone out there who has found Google Calendar particularly revelatory?
