Creating Libraries

Libraries organize content within a site. Technically, libraries are a special type of list that provides these key features:
=> Templates for creating new documents
=> An optional approval status field that indicates whether the document is pending, approved, or rejected
=> Storage for previous versions of documents
=> The ability to reserve documents by checking them in/out
=> Synchronization between list columns and properties stored in the document
=>· Integration with Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Just about anything you can do with a list you can do with a document library, so the topics covered in Chapter 4 apply equally to libraries. I won’t repeat those here. Instead, I will talk about the features that are unique to library and explore their use. At the end of the chapter, I’ll apply what you’ve learned and show you how to use document libraries for project, task, document control, and archive applications.
