Departmental Listing Update System (DLUS)

Departmental listings are updated by Directory Contacts throughout the University. The Departmental Listing Update System is a web-based system that is easy to access, simple to use, and yet gives total control over the accuracy of the data in the directory. Departmental listings appear in the on-line directory, and with the Harvard operators. The system is available throughout the year for ongoing changes. Once a change is made, it is reflected in our databases immediately, and the changes are fed to the on-line look-up system.

All departments should maintain at least one listing in the faculty/staff directory. Basic departmental entries include general information line, fax number, e-mail address and URL, along with your department's location.

Most departments include additional information, such as the titles of departmental leaders, sub-departments, and other frequently-called numbers. More detailed information in the departmental listings should reduce the number of misdirected calls.
