12. Listserv Replacement NI&S Advisory Committee 12 Goal is to replace proprietary Listserv software and move to Google Groups for same functionality. Timeline, admittedly ambitious, is to begin using GG for new classes in August 2015. Project team is being built; IT Staff engaged/customer membership is being solicited. Google Administrative E-mail accounts (GAE accounts) can also play a role in allowing groups to collaborate. Each GAE account can have it’s own calendar and drive space. Goal is to offer these for both personal (individual) use and group use. Coupling with Google Groups, this should be a useful and powerful set of tools.
