At first I thought this was dopey until I read some examples and realized yes, I was already doing some of this. I don't store documents online but that could really be handy for group document work. I'm sure the MnPALS groups and task forces use something like this, or could. The one thing I do is back up my cell phone contacts on the Verizon web site. (I learned about this from another customer at the Verizon store counter.) It comes free with my plan, and my contacts are backed up at 2 p.m. every day. The best part is that I can go to the Verizon web site and ADD new contacts - better than tapping in that info on the phone. I just use the keyboard and the minute I sign off, it's downloaded to the phone! I think it's called '"Backup Assistant." If you have Verizon, check it out!
I do like CheckFree for bill paying and in general LOVE online payments. I also like communicating with our health plan through their secure web site (HealthPartners). If I have a simple question, I just email the doctor and usually get an answer by the end of the day.
Do communications between libraries count? At work, we request books from the State Law Library, Hennepin County Law Library, the Legislative Reference Library, and Ramsey County Law Library, all via their "Ask a Librarian" email addresses. Then we send our courier to pick up our requests or they scan and email copies which used to be photocopied. We send Attorney General Opinion copies to lawyers every day, requested through our library email address (library.ag@state.mn.us).
