This resource functions as a centralized, searchable index of contact information for faculty, staff, and, in some instances, students affiliated with the institution. It allows individuals both internal and external to the university to locate specific personnel based on name, department, or other relevant criteria. An example of its use would be a prospective student searching for the email address of an admissions counselor, or a researcher seeking contact information for a specific professor in a particular academic department.
The availability of such a tool streamlines communication and facilitates collaboration within the university community. It enhances accessibility to university resources and expertise, supporting both academic and administrative functions. Historically, such directories evolved from printed publications to online databases, reflecting the increasing digitization of information and the need for efficient communication channels within large organizations. The ability to quickly locate and connect with individuals is crucial for maintaining productivity and fostering a sense of community within the institution.
