Pengertian Notebook disini bukan merupakan notebook buatan Google secara fisik tapi sebuah layanan online yang bisa anda gunakan untuk bekerja dalam sebuah tim/kelompok kerja secara online.

Tanpa menggunakan Google Notebook, mungkin setiap anggota akan menyimpan data/dokumen yang ditemukan pada sebuah file dan mengirimkannya ke anggota lain melalui e-mail atau media lainnya.

Dengan menggunakan Google Notebook, setiap anggota dapat dengan mudah menyimpan text, link, atau image pada browser ke sebuah account Google Notebook yang dapat diakses oleh setiap anggotanya secara online.

Dan telah tersedia juga extension untuk Google Notebook sehingga akan memudahkan anda browsing sambil menggunakan Google Notebook. Setelah extension itu di-install, maka akan tampil sebuah icon Google Notebook pada kanan bawah browser anda. (Mozilla Firefox dan Internet Explorer). Anda juga dapat memasukkan konten ke Google Notebook dengan klik kanan dan memilih menu Note This pada icon Google Notebook tersebut.

If you spend a lot of time online, chances are you've come across information you wish you could revisit later, whether to digest it more slowly, investigate it further, or share it with a friend or colleague. With Google Notebook, you can browse, clip, and organize information from across the web in a single online location that's accessible from any computer. Crafting a lesson plan? Researching a topic? Just add clippings to your notebook. You don't even have to leave your browser window.

To try it out, simply sign in to the Google Notebook homepage with your Google Account username and password, then download the Google Notebook browser extension. As soon as you restart your browser, you'll see a Google Notebook icon in the bottom-right corner of your browser window. Click on this icon to open your mini Google Notebook, where you can save clips of any online content that interests you.

• save clippings from sites around the web so you can access them later
• annotate your clippings by adding your own thoughts or comments
  
• organize clippings into different notebooks or in sections within a single notebook
• search the full text of your own notebooks and any public notebooks
• invite specific collaborators to contribute to your notebook -- just click on the "sharing options" link in the top right-hand corner of your Google Notebook and enter the email addresses of the people you'd like to share it with
• share the information in your notebook with everyone -- once inside "sharing options," select "publish this notebook" to make your Notebook public.
