[WEB4LIB] Where is your intranet?

[TMGB]

The library has its own subnet so I can restrict a tree of directories
on the library's server for that subnet only, thus our intranet.  The
content is still under the approval of the library web team.  I have
secured a space at http://www.intranets.com which offers a free intranet
site for anyone to create on their own.  You can name the site
anyname.intranets.com  where anyname is replaced with a name of your
choosing as long as it has not already being used.  I found I was not
the first library to use it since library.intranets.com was already
taken by the Norma E. Wood library.  The site features completely web
based calendar,disccusion groups, file sharing, and personal and group
web links.  The personal web links are links you define and only show up
under your login.  I haven't put this to use in the library yet but find
more and more cases where it would be useful with little or no work on
my end, I have far enough other things keeping me busy.  When you
establish a site, you are the administrator and can invite others to
join and set each new member as admin or user.
