Hi Jayne, Not sure about the on-line file management system, (I use Google docs, which is free), but sounds like he might require something more robust. However, as a scanning solution, I use a Fujitsu scan snap desktop scanner which is tiny, is hopper-fed (like a printer, so will quickly and easily handle large documents), and automatically converts anything I scan into OCR rich PDF files. Apart from things I have to have hard copies of, I basically have no paper filing at all. I literally couldn't do my job if I didn't use this system. Hope this is helpful.

He has very limited use of his hands and has a tremendous amount of text based information to manage, review and absorb. Could anyone comment or advise on the query he sent me - below in bold, or does anyone have any experience of the on-line options he has mentioned. > > Many thanks - Jayne > > > > I have had a look at a few on-line document management systems, there are lots so not sure how good each one is. Although, these ones seem to be more popular, Huddle, Netdocuments, Ademero & Filehold. Also need some way of scanning in bulk 50-100 pages at a time. > > What I am looking for, > > Online, File/document management and organisation > the ability to link documents together > scan & edit documents online (office files, ms word or PDF ) > multiple users, different user permissions > need to be able to have a backup at home > > > Jayne Mayers > Inclusion Team > Student Information Centre > Edge Hill University > St Helens Road > Ormskirk > L39 4QP > > Direct Dial 01695 584190 / 01695 584929 > > Extension 4190/4929 > > Or email [log in to unmask] > > > Edge Hill University 1885 - 2010 Shaping Futures for 125 Years Join the celebrations - > http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/125 > Top 10 UK University - http://www.edgehill.ac.uk/about/future/uktopten > > ----------------------------------------------------- > This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
