About this system

Background information

The Events database and web publishing system were created by Web Services (Information Division, University of Melbourne) in January 2003 as part of stage 1 in a long-term web redevelopment project.
The database has a simple web interface to allow Events publishers across the university to enter event information.
Selected Events are displayed on the university's home page http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ which is updated hourly. The home page displays only today's events.
The events web site http://events.unimelb.edu.au/ displays current event items on its home page. A basic search function is provided, enabling web users to search by month, year, events type or keyword, or any combination of these attributes.

Stage 2 has included some changes in functionality. This online help guide is provided to assist you with the new features.
