Professors, administrators, and students from colleges in the path of Hurricane Katrina are using the Internet to try to track down colleagues, friends, and loved ones or to share information about what has become of their campuses. One blog lists more than 200 Tulane University faculty and staff members who have reported that they are safe. Another Web site, operated by a Tulane student, lists the many blogs that have sprung up about colleges in the New Orleans area.
Please post comments here if you know of other ways that colleges are using IT, formally or informally, to keep people informed during this difficult time.
