Departmental listings due in online directory

UC Davis no longer prints a phone book, but individual listings have been available online for some time — and departmental listings are coming in early 2010.

The campus distributed its last printed directory, the Centennial edition, in late spring. The move saves money and paper, and the electronic format lets people update their listings anytime, which keeps the directory more accurate.

The next step is to move department listings online. People will be able to go to the campus directory search site, enter the name of a department, and see a listing of department information, much like they did in the phone book. The online directory aims to create a single place where people can find contact information.

To look up individual contact information about UC Davis faculty, students and staff online, visit ucdavis.edu/search/search_people.html and enter the person’s name. You can update your own listing at cr.ucdavis.edu/forms/dirupdate.cfm.

Questions or comments can be e-mailed to Laine Keneller, project manager: lwkeneller@ucdavis.edu.

Library class for staff

All UC Davis staff members are allowed access to the books, journals, databases and other electronic resources available through the General Library — and the library staff wants to tell you how to go about using these materials.

The instruction is planned during a free class from 10 to 11 a.m. Oct. 15 in the Instruction Lab, 165 Shields Library.

Lee Riggs, instruction assistant, is due to provide information on the library’s print materials and electronic resources, and how to access them from your home or office; and instruction on how to search the catalog and databases.

Registration required: lib.ucdavis.edu/classes.
