New Portal Info Notifications

Through the Portal Info support site (http://www.portalinfo.utoronto.ca) we have created a new Notifications module that resides on the right hand side of the front page.  The intent of the module is to inform our user base of updates or problems that might affect the use of some of the tools that are integrated or accessed through the Portal, for example Blackboard Collaborate.  In order to make it easier to reach everyone we have also created an RSS feed, http://www.portalinfo.utoronto.ca/notifications.xml. 

I thought any of you who provide educational technology support might be interested in subscribing and/or passing the information on to your community.

The Portal Status module and the System Status page (http://www.systemstatus.utoronto.ca/system/systems/portal) is still the method for providing information about the Portal and its operation.

Email alerts for Google Scholar

FYI:

"Until now Google Scholar users had to use a variety of methods to create alerts to notify them of new content in Google Scholar. Well, the wait is over and as of this weekend, Google Scholar E-Mail Alerts are now available. It’s Google, of course they’re free."
