   Some places to start, and to help kick off this discussion:

   - General posts to students:

       - Pertinent ucb.* newsgroups (free, although probably few readers
         in most groups):
         <http://www.net.berkeley.edu/dcns/usenet/info.usenet.shtml>
         <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?lnk=hpsfg&q=ucb.*>

       - Campus event calendar (if pertinent):
         <http://www.berkeley.edu/calendar/calend_instructions.html>
         <http://istpub.berkeley.edu:4201/bcc/Fall2006/799.html>

       - Contact Rescomp for suggestions about how to reach
         students in the residence halls:
         <http://www.rescomp.berkeley.edu>

   - Recruiting students for IT-related jobs:

     Students generally:
       <http://www.berkeley.edu/students/jobs/>
       <http://career.berkeley.edu/>

     EECS students:
       <http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Students/csa.shtml>
       <http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Announcements/>

     School of Information (aka I-School, formerly SIMS) students:
       <http://www2.sims.berkeley.edu/resources/employers/recruiting.html>

     To reach other specialized communities, search on "jobs" or
     "recruiting", optionally coupled with other search terms,
     on the campus home page, <http://www.berkeley.edu>.
