6. Verify that your directory information is correct

Last revision June 30, 2009

Stanford University maintains a master directory of faculty, staff, and students that can be searched online. The School of Earth Sciences maintains its own separate online directory with additional information, including records for visitors and other loosely affiliated persons.

New computer users in Earth Sciences should make sure that their information is correct in both directories, and that the privacy settings they desire are in effect.

Stanford University Directory

The university-wide directory is accessed from two separate web pages, one for searching and viewing information, and the second for setting your personal information. To search for information about any faculty, staff, or student at Stanford, start on this web page:

http://stanfordwho.stanford.edu/

Look at your directory listing to make sure that only the data you want is being displayed to the public.

Sometimes, this site will not find someone that you know is here on campus. There seems to be some delay in adding new people to the directory. The person you are seeking may be a visitor, who is not recorded in the master Stanford directory, or the person may have selected a privacy setting that makes him completely "disappear" from the public view of the system. If none of those cases applies to the person you are trying to find (for example, yourself), then there is likely a bug in the directory system that you should report by entering a request in the HelpSU problem reporting system at

http://helpsu.stanford.edu/

If you want to update your personal information in the master Stanford directory, or restrict the display of your information, use this web site:

http://stanfordyou.stanford.edu/

School of Earth Sciences Personnel Database

The School of Earth Sciences maintains its own online directory to record and display additional information that is not shown in the master Stanford directory, such as a brief job description or a full C.V., plus information for visitors and laboratories. We also link other services to our own directory, such as the automatic generation of email lists for specific groups in the School.

The School of Earth Sciences directory can be accessed by selecting the People tab on the top of the School of Earth Sciences home web page, or by going directly to this URL:

http://pangea.stanford.edu/people/

On the directory web page you can search for a specific person, or browse listings by department and affiliation. You can also select the link for Advanced Search to search by any criteria you wish, such as "all students in GES". The browse and advanced search functions can be used to generate an email list for the matching people. You must be logged in (link in upper right of the directory page) to use the email list service.

If your personal information, such as office number, phone, and email address, are not correct in the Earth Sciences People database, you can update them yourself. Select the Edit link in the navigation menu. If you are not already logged in to the directory service, you will be prompted to enter your SUNet ID and password. Then you will continue to the editing page where you can update your information.

If there is no record for you in the Earth Sciences People database, please contact your department administrator and ask him/her to create a record.
