Google Reader

If you visit many sites often than you've probably heard about RSS feeds.  RSS feeds allow you to subscribe to a sites changing content.  So instead of checking out 20 or so site every morning, you could just have their RSS feeds pulled to you.  A great free RSS reader is the Google Reader.  

As part of our Google Apps for Education, you can just login using your email address and password.  You can add new subscriptions from pasting one you found on a site you enjoy or browsing through some suggested feeds on the site.  You can also opt to share a story from a feed so others can subscribe to your personal Google Reader feed.

ACCC has been offering an RSS feed for a while now with more on the way.  Log in and check it out, it's really cool.

Use the Web Calendar

If you're not already submitting events to the college's online calendar, you really should.  It's extremely easy to do, and with over 15,000 unique page views to the calendar a month a great way to get exposure for an event.  

Anyone can submit an event to the calendar (submissions are screened before being posted).  To submit an event just do the following:

1. From the top right of just about any page on atlantic.edu click on the calendars link.
2. From the calendar page, there's a link to Add Event Form in the sidebar.  Click on that will take you to a form to fill out to submit your event.
3. Fill out the form and submit it. Required fields has an asterisk (*) besides their title.

That's all there is to it.
