Community AreasBlogThe blog should host all "news" or editorial pieces that would be of interest to our broadest target audience. NSGIC members are invited to submit an article for posting on the blog by email to [email protected].
Forums
Forums provide well-defined areas for users to engage in conversation with one another, share files and subscribe to their favorite topics. Forums are created by the site administrator, are organized into categories and can optionally be moderated by a committee chair or other administrator. Access to read/contribute to the forums requires users to log into nsgic.org. In some cases, access is restricted to types of members, but this is set by the site administrator.
Committee Work AreasCommittees provide a private working area to share messages and files only within the assigned committee members. To access the committee work area, committee members should log in and navigate from My NSGIC -> My Features -> My Committees -> click on the chosen committee. This is also where committee members will set their notification options for new files, new messages and new comments. E-ListsE-lists are similar to the old NSGIC listservs, but different in that they are to be used for "noticing" as we get away from sharing "content" strictly via email. E-lists are a great way to give short form notice with links to important content on the blog, forums or committee space. Only members of an e-list have permission to post to the e-list. If you are interested in being added to an e-list, contact the appropriate committee chair or the staff team at [email protected]. CirclesCircles are for informal and ad hoc networking between members. Any member can create their own circle after logging in and it is their responsibility to invite/approve others to join (closed) or open to any member to find and join (open). Circles are owned by their creator, but the site administrator can change this to another member if needed. Otherwise, circles are strictly what individuals make of them. CalendarNSGIC members are invited to add geospatial meetings and events to the NSGIC calendar. Complete this form to have your calendar item included.
