Publishing Calendars
We will show you the different ways to publish one or more calendar to the web. You manage events in your Calendar account and they are automatically updated everywhere else they appear. Calendars can be published separately or combined together. Calendars can be shared with the entire world or with a smaller subset of users, such as a department. We will also show you can you can allow others to submit events to a public calendar without you having to do any work, although you can set up various levels of moderation for approving these event submissions.

Resource Calendars and Linking Calendars Together
Here we will show you how to make Google Calendar an exceptional tool for scheduling resources. Set up calendars to manage room bookings, equipment booking, or other resources. Do you want to have different calendars for different groups or audiences, but you don’t want to repeat creating the same events across multiple calendars? Learn how to link events across multiple calendars to manage processes and projects, all the while managing a single set of events and resources. AS with public calendars we will also show you how to allow others submit events or book resources, while all you have to do is moderate or oversee.
