Sharing vs. subscribing to Calendars in OWA/Ninermail
- Why does this matter? Different information may be visible to you, especially shared calendars can display more sensitive information than internet published calendars.
- How can I tell the difference? Apart from the amount of information that gets displayed to you, different calendar types appear :
- in a different place:
- Shared calendars appear under (1) heading “people” (even if it is a room or other resource),
- subscribed calendars under (3) heading “Other Calendars”
- with a different type of name:
- Shared calendars have as name the email address (2) “@uncc.edu”
- subscribed calendars have as default name only “calendar”. Only if you rename the calendar, it has a meaningful identifier, like was done here (4)

How we improve client service through changes to the reception desk computer image
- These browser windows will now load automatically when student staff logs into the reception desk computers:
- Safari: In the entrance area, we display the live calendar of LRC events and services, containing the schedule of events (classes and other room and computer bookings from our bookable resources):
- Internet explorer
- is used by clients exclusively
- displays only the 49erexpress login screen in full screen
- clients do not close, but only log off
- dependent application windows can be opened from there
- Moodle
- Ninermail
- Firefox
- is used by LRC Assistants exclusively
- better overview thanks to fewer duplicate tabs
- immediate access to online spreadsheets
- bookable LRC resources
- film collection
- Moodle teaching resources
- LRC homepage, displayed for walk-in clients in the entrance area:

How we reorganized the reception area to improve support of circulation and small group work
The new reception desk is meant to secure the entrance to Coed436. To secure the circulation equipment, we do not let students into COED436 anymore, whether they are trying to check out equipment or for other reasons (except if they need to see the LRC coordinator). Hand all equipment to students over the counter. The door to Coed436 has to be locked when the LRC Assistant leaves the reception desk (it always can be unlocked from inside).
We also carved out 2 small group work spaces in the LRC entrance area. They can be used by language tutors with their students, and by other small student groups, including for assigned film viewing. These work spaces currently do not have to be booked, but they can be. Bookings take precedence over walk-ins. Send meeting requests to LRCRoomCoed433c@uncc.edu (Group1 next to entrance), LRCRoomCoed433d@uncc.edu (Group 2)). The calendar on the reception desk will display the bookings.
We moved 3 more iMacs (with built-in web cameras) into the main classroom (currently available to students only when all other iMacs are in use). All the iMacs in the main classroom actually have now also their own “room”: LRCroomCoed433b@uncc.edu (iMacs), but we are not requiring this “room” to be booked (yet). We are considering this in an attempt to avoid pile-ups of students trying to take video recording assignment. First we monitor actual usage patterns, especially nearing assignment dead-lines.
New “rooms”, and other equipment types are highlighted in green on our list of bookable resources.
LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How to alter meeting times in OWA
- If you are the meeting organizer (you initiated the meeting request), in your NINERMAIL/OWA calendar, just click on the meeting and drag the meeting start and/or end time with your left mouse button in the desired new location (works like in Outlook), and send updates (this will not affect for the series of a recurring meeting, only the current occurence):
- If you are not the meeting organizer, the meeting organizer, when requesting a meeting with you, may have allowed you to “Request a new time”: use the corresponding button (screenshots are for Outlook):
- in the meeting request:

- in the meeting request:
- or in the calendar item context menu
