Additionally, this collaboration and content management server provides IT professionals and developers with the platform and tools they need for server administration, application extensibility, and interoperability.

[Sushma Ketan Karnik]

MS Share Point can be used as a networking tool --
a) among library professionals within an organisation
b) among library and its users

-- define groups
-- share documents -- One can define access to documents -- only view, act as co-owner

for example, if an article is of interest to a group of users -- instead of sending e-mails -- upload the article and give access to view it. Users can view it as per their convenience.
