Overview of the UTK On-Line Classifieds
The classified ads listed at this site can be viewed by anyone in the world, but submissions are only accepted within the utk.edu domain. That is, you must be on a machine inside the domain utk.edu to submit an advertisement. This service will operate similar to the posting board in the University Center. You may use this service to help sell your used textbooks, buy CDs, find a ride home, etc. Don't forget that you can use your browser's Find feature to help you locate information within a category.

Categories of advertisements
Advertisements are classified according to the following six categories: For sale, Wanted, Ride Board, Lost/Found, Services, and Other. The Ride Board should include listings for both rides wanted and riders needed. Services should include listings such as tutoring, typing, and word processing. When submitting an advertisement you will be prompted with a selection list similar to the one shown below. 
 For Sale         Lost/Found

 Wanted           Services

 Ride Board       Other

Depending upon which category you select, your submitted advertisement will be inserted at the top of that section.

Duration of Advertisements
Advertisements for all categories will run for two weeks from the date of submission. Once an ad is two weeks old, it will automatically be purged from the database. After an advertisement has been purged, you can simply re-submit your classified ad to have it listed again. Note: this is unlike the posting board in the University Center which removes ads on a weekly basis,

Removing or Modifying a Submission
To immediately remove or modify an offensive or errant listing, please notify the maintainer of this service. His address and phone number are listed below. Since entries are removed every two weeks, this notification should only be used for "emergencies."

Statistics
To help monitor the success of this service, we are interesting in hearing about positive experiences. If you have had a positive experience (e.g. sold an item) please e-mail us at webmaster@utk.edu. We may or may not respond back.

Inserting Hypertext links
To help sell or promote a classified advertisement, hyperlinks can be incorporated into the listing. For example, if you are trying to sell a car, you may want to use a hyperlink to provide a picture of it. Hyperlinks can be inserted by including a regular hypertext link within the input field Item/Description. Below is an example.
    <a href = "http://...utk.edu/~username/car-desc.html">Photo</a>
To ensure rapid retrieval off all listings, in-line images are not allowed directly within a classified ad.

Computing Codes and Policy
We welcome your use of this service, but we ask that you be aware of the UTK Code of Computing Practice and the UT Conflict of Interest Policy.
