Google Drive: A Boon for Developing a Web-based Collaborating Working Culture in Libraries

Abstract

The technological revolution in information and communication has created new avenues for libraries to deliver library services and information resources to end users. This study elucidates how library and information science professionals (LISP) use information and communication technology (ICT) tools in communicating, storing, and managing library data and convert the information for enhancing the quality of library services and developing a web-based collaborative system culture in libraries. The study provides a practical approach to using Google Drive and has created a web-based collaborative working culture for libraries. Revolutionary technological tools and applications are helping to create/develop easy-to-use platforms that allow professionals and end users to collaborate in both synchronized and non-synchronized modes.
