SharePoint for Digital Projects with Martha Parker

This presentation is intended to cover the use of SharePoint to manage digital projects.  SharePoint is a very efficient tool utilized in the Digital Services Unit to track and to share information while collaborating on team projects. Anyone involved on digital projects in any capacity, anyone interested in learning how to manage team projects through SharePoint for their specific departmental unit, or anyone who would like to reduce the amount of emails exchanged while collaborating on team projects will benefit from this session.  Two sessions left – tomorrow at 2pm and Thursday at 9am – catch either in MULN 472B. Sign up online.
