That Was Easy! Incorporating (Free) Cloud-Based Project Management Tools Into Your Day-To-Day Library Workflows, Allison Kaiser Jones

South Carolina Libraries

After realizing the limitations of Microsoft Office Suite for managing subscription renewals, the author evaluated commonly used cloud-based project management tools to help make the renewal workflows more collaborative, dynamic, and accessible. One criterion necessary for implementation- it would have to be free. This paper, derived from the author’s presentation given at the 2019 South Carolina Library Association, explores several cloud-based project management tools that were considered, how the author incorporates a cloud-based project management tool into her collection management workflows, the pros and cons of doing so, and tips for implementation.
