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 annual printed Faculty/Staff directory, 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. Browse through the current printed directory to see how your colleagues have maximized the use of this section. More detailed information in the departmental listings should reduce the number of misdirected calls.
