The Coordinator's role

The rollout of Calendar to University staff requires communication within departments and coordination between departments and Information Services. Departments that use Calendar must nominate a Calendar Coordinator, who will then assist the department or groups to:

• Implement Calendar in a planned and coordinated way, which may include:
  • discussing, agreeing and communicating a local Calendar policy and etiquette;
  • giving advice and arranging training;
  • inducting newcomers;
• Integrate, or replace, existing procedures for recording diaries and booking resources with the use of Calendar
• Help resolve difficulties that arise - for example, to take appropriate action if individuals or groups breach policy, guidelines or etiquette in a way that adversely affects others

It is suggested that the Calendar Coordinator is a person with influence in the department, who is able to speak at staff meetings and is able to recommend and uphold a department's local Calendar policy and etiquette. It is important that zonal IT support staff should be involved in the implementation.
