Ah, now this one I really can see the benefit of - but only amongst librarians rather than between users and librarians. How refreshingly easy it is to use too. My immediate concern though, and something I have not been able to find out about quickly and easily, is whether when a person edits the document the previous version is saved. It may be, for example, that one of the people you share the document with and invite to edit it changes something to something you are not happy with - can you then easily cancel the change or revert to the original? Similarly if one person edits something and then another later edits the same thing does the second edit overwrite the first one - is the first editor wasting their time - or are the 'participants' of the sharing process aware of all changes? I suspect this is something I will only become aware of after having shared a document and found out. So, now I'm more or less up-to-date, I'm off to do just that ...

I got a bit confused between allowing people to view and edit a document. I hope that it will be like a wiki and you can see who has done what, but until someone plays with my table I am not sure. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhtnCIRjd-j2dElDMHNyN0ZScVAzd0IydnkyaEVKQXc&hl=en_GB&authkey=CPGqkOgE
