Google Calendar

Reasons why we’re in favor of Google Calendar?

A section supervisor can view simutaneously all work schedules of employees in the form of shared calendars. Google Calendar is a free social network program, so employees (especially library part time like student workers) who are not on the library institutional calendar are not excluded.

Requirement

Both suppervisor and employees must have a Google account and use Google Calendar. Note, you don’t have to have a Gmail address in order to open a Google account. You can use whatever email account you have been using to open a Google account.

How to have someone share his/her calendar with you?

• When someone starts Google Calendar, he or she gets a default personal calendar. One can decide to use this default personal calendar for sharing; or, to create a new calendar for the purpose of work-schedule, and share ONLY this new calendar with his/her supervisor.
• Note, if one decides to share ONLY the work-schedule calendar, make sure the default personal calendar is NOT shared from the beginning. Then, he should create a new calendar and add person (email address) to share.
• Make sure the email address (of the person one wants to share calendar with) is the one that he or she uses to sign in Google account.
