Google Docs, Books and Scholar

Google is taking over the planet!. I knew about Google Documents I found this interesting link from VU Library homepage :http://intranet.vu.edu.au/AEHD/web2_usersite/ this Toolbox was prepared by the Faculty of AEHD and was designed to help users to get around the web 2.0 applications such as wikis, blogs, collaborative documents and to use them for teaching and learning. Google documents is a free online editor, and enables people to share documents, this is particularly useful for students to work together for an assignment, make changes to the document until completed.

Google Books is another good resource if you want to read a few pages of a book before you buy/order it,To me I've rather go to Amazon.com.

Google scholar is good for locating journals citations and in some cases the link to where the document is available or can direct you to the source and with luck to the fulltext via document supply.
