Sign now

Usually, if we need to sign something (new hire documents, apartment leases, bank account documents, you name it) you have to print it, sign it in pen, then fax it (since many places won't accept things by email)

I've stumbled upon a site (which is legally legit) called SIGN NOW {www.signnow.com}

This site allows you to upload a document from your computer, electronically sign it (you can draw in your signature, or have the site pick a font), then you save it, and you can either email it to yourself or download it back to your computer. No lengthy registrations needed, just an email address/password.

If the receiving end needs you to fax it and you don't have a fax machine, you can use: http://faxzero.com/ for easy fax jobs.

Since a lot happens between library branches, this may come in handy! (Especially for staff at the Deer Trail branch!)

I understand this is a tech blog, but I leave you with some food for thought:

Happy signing everyone!
