Group WorkIt is likely that you will be required to do group work while at GSLIS, as well as out in the professional world. Here are some suggestions for working collaboratively online.File StorageWhile at UIUC, you have file storage space provided to you by both GSLIS and CITES, the larger computing body on campus. We recommend using the file sharing options available to you through CITES. The service is very robust and fairly simple to use - please note that while the GSLIS help desk may be able to answer some basic questions you might have regarding NetFiles, more thorough support may be found at the CITES HelpDesk.In order to use NetFiles, the CITES file storage service, you must first set up your Active Directory password. Directions for getting started are available here: http://www.cites.illinois.edu/netfiles/quickstart.html Once you've set up that account, you can sign in to NetFiles using your web browser.
