To add these calendars to your VANDERBILT GMAIL account:
1. Right click the ICAL icon for the calendar you'd like to subscribe to and copy the link (COPY SHORTCUT or COPY LINK)
2. Go to your Vanderbilt Gmail Calendar and on the lower left - Click ADD, Add by URL
3. Paste the link you copied here and click Add Calendar
To add these calendars to a REGULAR GMAIL account:
Add the calendars to your set of Google Calendars by clicking on the event's Google Calendar icon from the table, then clicking this icon
in the bottom right corner.
iCal
Subscribe directly to the "ICAL" link from the table.
First, try just clicking on the iCal link. If iCal opens and prompts you to add the calendar, then you're good to go.
If that method doesn't work, you'll need to manually add the calendar:
Right-click on the link and copy the link location.
Open iCal and on the Calendar menu, click Subscribe. Paste the ICAL link into the URL box and click Subscribe.
iPhone
There are many ways to subscribe to these calendars on the iPhone. The best way (for now) to integrate calendars on the iPhone is to link the phone to your Google Calendar account. First, get a Google account. Then, return to this page and subscribe to interesting calendars by clicking on the appropriate Google Calendar links from the table. Then, connect your phone to your Google Calendar account using Step 1 here, then Step 2 here. It will take you about 10 minutes to set all of this up, but you'll love how smoothly the calendars work.
For users who sync to Outlook and don't use Google Calendar, refer to the Outlook Section above. The advantage of this method is that you can edit your own events. The disadvantage is that you will not get dynamic updates as, for instance, game times get changed.
One can also subscribe to the ICS links from the table. (There are different ways to do this. Ideally you are supposed to click on one of the green ICAL links and the phone automatically subscribes to the feed. I wasn't able to get this working, though. This is the method I would like to suggest, as offering a dead-simple "Subscribe" button on this page would be ideal Alternatively, you can press and hold the ICAL icon for the desired calendar, and then select Copy. Then go through the iPhone's Settings | Mail, Contacts, Calendars | Add Account | Other | Add Subscribed Calendar. Press and hold the in the "Server" box, then hit "Copy". This will add a subscribed calendar to your iPhone. This works well with short calendars, but can bog down the phone for giant calendars with hundreds of events.
Blackberry
