Announcement and Info re: the new Online Telephone Directory.

New Online Telephone Directory

Telecommunication Services and the Enterprise Application and Solution Integrations are pleased to announce the new Online Telephone Directory at http://directory.utoronto.ca/phonebook/pages/admin/main.xhtml

The directory is now available to the public from the U of T homepage Contacts section. The new directory has a number of new features that will improve your online search experience.

• A public directory interface where anyone internal or external to the University
can search for staff or faculty contact information including name, job title, phone
number(s), email(s), fax number(s) and department
• Department and faculty contact information including name, main address,
contact phone number(s), fax number(s), email(s) and web address(es)
• U of T administrative offices including address and titled contacts
• List of departmental directory co-ordinators authorized to make changes to their
departmental listings

The Directory now offers a “private” search utility A ‘private’ search utility accessible via UTORID authentication, where staff and faculty can:
• Query employees via departmental searches and generate employee lists
• See full results for common surname searches, such as “Smith” without restriction
on the number of results
• Download query results to Excel
Updates to the directory can be done by your departmental directory co-ordinator (click on the Directory Co-ordinators (PDF) on the bottom of the website page). Changes to the listings will be uploaded to the new application overnight.

We would like to thank Sheree Drummond, Office of the Vice President and Provost,
Jane Linley, Faculty of Arts and Science, Bob Sawada, Telecommunication Services and
Joe Weinberg, OISE for their participation in the user group. Their contributions to the design and content of the new application have been invaluable. As well, many thanks to the application developers, Christine Beckermann and Louise Tardiff for the creation of an application that will be used by all members of the University community.
