Putting your calendar on the web via a URL

You can do this for one or more of your own account's calendar(s) in your own Outlook account.

• You can create topic-specific calendars within your own account instead of just using the (primary) one given to you be default. Share any or none via this method.

These steps worked for Oliver:

• Log into on-line, <outlook.cornell.edu>.
• Go to Options => Calendar => Shared calendars => Calendar publishing.
• Select Calendar and permissions (ex. Full details). Then select the HTML link to share or post on a web page. Done!

Tested with the ChemIT EGA, and was also successful:

A neat example Oliver found, 8/27/15:

To schedule a meeting:

1. Browse my calendar (switch to "week view") and identify a vacant 30-minute time slot between 10am-6pm.

2. Switch to "week view" (top right corner) and it will be easier for you to see my hour-by-hour availability.

3. If possible, please choose a time slot that is adjacent to an existing "busy" slot so as to reduce the fragmentation of my day. Please avoid scheduling a meeting with less than 24 hours notice.

4. Then, send me (perhaps provide your email address) a meeting invitation directly (e.g. using Outlook Ctrl-Shift-Q or Google calendar event "Invite Guest").

Thanks!

The link pattern I had found at <http://lipson.mae.cornell.edu/calendar.htm> is much shorter and cleaner than the link I got to actually work (and which I used above):

  • N.B. Professor left for Columbia 7/1/15, so may not work much longer.
