Last month AASHE hosted a webinar, “How to Make the Most of AASHE Resources”.  The 60-minute webinar covered AASHE's Resource Center and major publications, and Second Nature’s new Campus Green Builder initiative.  While aimed at Title III and V member schools, the webinar should be useful to any AASHE member.  A free recording - along with a list of Q & A from the webinar - can be accessed through AASHE's Professional Development page.
 
The webinar highlights key resources such as AASHE Bulletin and archives, campus green building information and opportunities, and curriculum and research databases.  It provides useful search and navigation tips, and describes how to use the Discussion Forums.  Viewers will learn how to find information quickly, how to create or modify their personal AASHE account, and how to submit for the campus spotlight feature.
