## What is the bConnected Lists service?

bConnected Lists is the Berkeley brand name for Google Groups for Business, which is a free mailing list service available to anyone with a bConnected Google account.

Powered by [Google Groups](https://apps.google.com/learning-center/products/groups/#/list), bConnected Lists makes communication and collaboration with groups quick and easy. In addition to serving as a standard mailing list, you can use it to [send calendar invites](https://support.google.com/a/answer/172013?hl=en), and [manage document sharing and permissions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/167101).
