LFPL's 23 things....
Out of all the Google services listed I find the Google Docs and Google Maps the most useful personally. I already use Google maps to to get directions and also when I was looking for an apartment I liked how I could use the street view to see what surrounded the apt/house. I also LOVE LOVE the new Google Art Project :)
I used to use Google Docs in grad school but I haven't used it in a long while but I still think it could come in handy. It makes it easier to collaborate and communicate with others and its more accessible than Microsoft Office.
In terms of helping patrons I think the Google Docs and Google Scholar would help the most since I mainly work with children and teens. I have teens that need help with research projects and finding reliable material for homework. Google Scholar could help with homework while Google Docs would give them a new and free word processing alternative to Microsoft Office. Since many of the teens I see do not have access to a computers at home it would easier for them to work on their papers/homework and save it on Google Docs while at the library.
