Information professionals need to be reachable through email (through cell phones, laptops, Treos, and BlackBerries) and customers' questions have to be answered in "real time," meaning that once the question is sent, an answer is expected that moment. A library in a Google environment allows this to happen. It also allows the information professional to be available 24/7, the documents to be obtainable 24/7, and online sharing and discussion between customers and the information professional to be possible. In this article, the author describes the steps in making an electronic library assistant (ELA) within a sandbox environment in Google. Through these steps, information professionals can have an ELA to help them with their duties while they travel all over the world--or at least all over town. All they need is a laptop.
