2. MASTER CALENDAR IN PERSONNEL
There is a master calendar in Library Personnel where we list most meetings and training sessions that have been widely announced. Lynne Webb (lywebb) maintains this calendar, and you can let her know if you want something listed. If you're scheduling a meeting and want to avoid conflicts, consulting the master calendar may help.
