[Web4lib] Zoho Anyone?

Thu Sep 8 15:28:47 EDT 2011

I've tried out Zoho Projects recently for the purposes of managing a project.  It includes a dashboard that enables you to see the progress of various tasks you have set.  I didn't go into it deeply, but it worked well enough for my purposes.  YMMV.

I don't think Picasa is closing--Google is just renaming it, along with Blogger.

We started using MRBS due to dissatisfaction with the IIII booking module as well.   We've been using it for a few years now and are really happy with it.  You can see what our implementation looks like, though you can't actually book a room since it will require authentication.  https://library.wwu.edu/groupstudy/

We have recently started using MRBS after several complaints on the III 
booking module interface.  We have personalized MRBS for our campus css.  It 
offers many  options for authentication and we chose email authentication so we 
are able to authenticate users of the campus IT email server without having to 
go through campus IT bureaucracy to connect to LDAP, Shiboleth, or other.  I 
would send a URL but as just stated it authenticates of our email server to 
get in.  I understand MRBS is well documented, I didn't work on this project 
myself.

Hi all,

I?m investigating Zoho as a solution for surfacing the statuses of our
multiple digitization projects to our stakeholders. Zoho looks like a good
solution so far, but I have to say that I?m a little perplexed by their
array of products, especially when it comes to Zoho Reports vs. Creator.

Anyone have experience working with Zoho? Any recommendations for which Zoho
product would work best for creating a dashboard of project statuses?

Sorry I left off the URL for last year's photo site..

You can see what we did via LibGuide/Springshare here:
http://sandiego.communityguides.com/content.php?pid=143020&sid=1264513

Some good suggestions so far; I'll compile for the list when done. Thanks!
