    • What is the Mines Campus eClassifieds system? Who can use it? Where is the website?

    The Mines Campus eClassifieds system is a free web based "classified ads" service provided for the CSM community. The campus community can access the service through computers connected to the internet via a CSM connection (e.g., computers with a *.mines.edu computer name; connected via a CSM VPN connection; or connected via the campus residence halls/housing, campus modem/dialup, or registered DHCP or wireless connection.). The eClassifieds web site address is: http://www.mines.edu/classifieds/.

    [For information about CSM internet connections, see the Academic Computing & Networking Networking web pages (http://www.mines.edu/academic/computer/networking/).]
