Various types of occultations and eclipses offer individuals with access to small telescopes the opportunity to contribute significantly to modern solar system research. In fact, often it is only through the cooperation of several such observers that the desired scientific objectives can be realized. This review discusses three classes of occultations which are of high current interest and which are particularly suitable for investigation with small telescopes.
