Meetona: the meeting maker

From the Hill Library

Overcome the challenges of coordinating meeting times for large groups of people with meetona.

Meetona is a free Web-based tool for organizing meetings. It does not require registration, login, or downloads and it holds no information on its users. The organizer simply creates a calendar of potential meeting times and shares the calendar URL with the meeting participants. Each participant removes the options that don't work for him or her, and the resulting calendar shows only the times when all participants are available.
