A recent discussion came up on LinkedIn asking “How are you sharing articles or interesting online reads with your colleagues using SharePoint?<\/strong>” so I wanted to share my answer in the form of a blog post ..<\/p>\n

DocRead for SharePoint<\/a> is now being used in quite a few colleges \/ universities around the world, primarily to distribute and track the reading of really important docs, such as policies and procedures.<\/p>\n

However, it’s also really easy to “recommend” links, documents, videos, urls that can either exist in SharePoint or even outside of SharePoint. Once a DocRead Publisher configures and “recommends” a resource to read – this will appear in the users personal “reading” list (which would normally sit as a web part on their MySite or Intranet Home Page).<\/p>\n

In fact this is exactly what we are doing on the SP24 managerment site … see below :<\/p>\n

\"sp24-reading-tasks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The user can then read the document and also optionally confirm reading it so that it pops to the bottom of their reading list and also turns to a green icon.<\/p>\n

Please take a look at these links to read more :<\/p>\n
