Web tools

The Web Technologies Group supports several web tools for the benefit of the campus community and users. Some tools require that the website is hosted on the central web server.

Calendar

We support a web calendar tool called JCal that integrates with the Mambo content management system and is used for University events and news. The tool produces an RSS feed that provides content on the UM homepage and in OneStop. University Relations manages access and content on the calendaring system.
