- The Viability of Google Wave as an Online Collaboration Tool Ovadia, Steven Internet Computer Mediated Communication Technological Advancement Higher Education Cooperation Synchronous Communication Collaboration is an increasingly important skill in academia. Not only are librarians expected to collaborate with one another within a single library, but there are also expectations of both intracampus and intercampus collaboration. While face-to-face and telephone meetings are often possible, there are times when everyone cannot be brought together in that way. This is when electronic collaboration becomes a more viable vehicle for conversations. In addition to well-known tools like e-mail and instant messaging, there are a few other options that might facilitate collaboration across both time and space. This article describes the online collaboration tool called Google Wave, which presumes to be an alternative to e-mail, allowing people to communicate and share work in a totally online environment, and discusses how effective it is as an online collaboration tool.
