I think we would want to consider those same issues before
we went with
anything remotely hosted. We also have personal staff phone
numbers
posted on our intranet and even though Google is great for
many things,
I am not sure that I want them keeping information about our
staff.
I haven't used Google docs much at all, so maybe someone
else can chime
in on this, but our intranet is much more than just various
types of
documents, like policies and procedures. It's also a list
of committee
meetings, training sessions, a reference blog and more. It
seems to me
that even if we were to use Google Calendar with Docs,
information would
be in disparate locations that would be difficult for our
staff to pull
together.
Thanks,
Paula

Subject: Re: [Web4lib] Intranet revamp
We use a private, password & IP address controlled
Intranet still
because we do make available things like unlisted staff
phone numbers
(we live in a "snow-day" state where the library
closes at least once
a year due to weather - gotta have that phone number
information handy
to let people know to stay home) and "problem
patron" information -
complete with library card numbers sometimes. We have a
couple of
staff members who are pretty serious about keeping their
numbers
unlisted and unknown to the general public. I'm not sure
they would be
comfortable with that information in anything from Google.
I'm not
sure our director would be interested in us posting patron
information
in anything remotely hosted, either...
