Groups are either public or private. The listing of public groups will show some basic information about the group (like the group name which links to the group's home page, a short description about the group, the group manager and the number of posts and members, and options for joining the group (covered in the next segment of this tutorial).


 		 Step 1: Go to the group list by selecting the "Groups" link under the "Browse" tab in the global menu at the top of the CPS-VO home page.

 		 Step 2: You will be directed to a list of groups that have chosen to be listed in the public directory. You can search for a group by name by typing their name or a portion of their name in the text box.

A guided search is also available under the global menu at the top of the CPS-VO home page.
