Abstract:
Emergency Notification Systems (ENS) are in wide use in higher education, including community colleges. Literature published between 1990 and 2010 is examined in regards to the use of ENS in the community college setting in light of the distinct community college broadbased mission and recent reductions in funding sources. The analysis produces eleven recommendations to guide planning and implementation of ENS in an open community college environment, for use by community college technology and safety administrators.
