Staff directory to be offered only online this fall

Starting in this fall, the university’s staff directory will no longer be printed centrally. As is the case now, you will be able to use the online directory to look up employee information. The online directory is updated nightly, so the information stays current, unlike the printed directory.

The online directory can be found by clicking on the “People” button on the main UW–Madison Web page (http://www.wisc.edu/). In the “People” search box, names can be entered either by first name, last name (e.g. Sara Jones) or by last name, first name (Jones, Sara). Last name, first name is usually the faster search technique.

You may find multiple matches when you search. It is easy to distinguish between student matches and staff matches: Student names are printed in mixed case and staff names in all capital letters.

To see the full entry for any person, click on the words, “More Information.” This will take you to the full person entry, which will display the name, title, division/department/unit, office address and phone and e-mail address. Home addresses will not be displayed in the online directory.

Department information can also be found online. When you get to the “People Search” page, click on the words “Departmental Directory Search.” This will take you to the Department Search page, where you can enter the name of the department for which you are searching in the department name box.

By this fall there will be PDF files available online so that those who wish can print the department listings, faculty/staff listings, and UW Hospital and Clinics staff information. The printable files will not contain home or e-mail addresses.

Comments or suggestions about the directory should be sent to APO@bascom.wisc.edu.
