Subject: Profile page

Hello,

This is to follow up the phone message I just left you about the Profile pages.

We have photos taken by Graphics Services on campus- your admin coordinator should have a form which you bring to Graphics Services and they take a photo, which they email back to you.  If you (or they) email me the resulting photo, I can process it to get it included in your profile. 

The Faculty Profiles page is built by a web-based system that we began using last year, called OFIS (Online Faculty Information System). If you have any questions, drop me a line, either by email, phone (x35448), or stopping by my office between 9:30 and 5:30 (DC 2555f).
	1.	Go to: https://ofis.uwaterloo.ca/OFIS/webpage/cs/webpage.php and log in with your WatIAM id and password.
	2.	Go through each section in turn; when you are finished, the "Publish" link will create a profile on the CS web server. At any point, hit "Preview" for a close approximation of the output. From the Preview page, the red left-arrow icon will return you to the Profile Editing page.
	3.	If you have questions about any section, see below:
	◦	Academic Background can be entered as follows:
	1.	Follow the link to the "Academic Background" tab. Choose "New."
	2.	Choose degree type (e.g., Doctorate).
	3.	Fill in Institution, Country, Date (year/month) graduated, and Field. Change "Display on Web" to "Yes".
	4.	Repeat for Doctorate, Master's, and Bachelor's degrees.
	◦	Representative Publications can be entered as follows:
	1.	Follow the link to the "Contributions" tab. Choose "New."
	2.	Choose the best fitting contribution type.
	3.	For "Would you like this Contribution to be displayed on your webpage?" choose "Yes" to have it appear in the research book.
	4.	You must enter a number in all three "Year" fields.
	5.	Copy and paste your publication entry into the next field as you want it to appear. A standard format is suggested on the form. Quoted text will become italicized in the Directory.
	6.	Near the top of the page, choose the "SAVE" button.
	7.	To remove older publications from your selected publications, choose the "Edit" button on the Publications page. It looks like a pencil. Change "Would you like this Contribution to be displayed on your webpage?" to "No" and choose "SAVE" near the top.
	8.	For batch publication upload, you can use the "BibTeX Import" tab on the left-hand side. Instructions are provided on that page. Be sure to select "Show on Web" for the items to be included in your public profile.
	9.	Please select a maximum of five representative publications.
	◦	Major Awards are entered as follows:
	1.	Follow the link to the "Awards And Recognitions" tab. Choose "New."
	2.	Select the award name from the drop-down and description to appear on your profile. "Other Pertinent Information" can be left blank. Enter the year or range of years, change "Display on Web" to "yes" and choose "SAVE".
	◦	Your Research Keywords will be recorded in the Index of the Research Directory. Go to the "Expertise" tab and edit the first section.  
	◦	Research Interests should be filled in, as also Industrial/Sabbatical Experience if applicable.
 When your changes are complete, select "Publish" and your update will be live on the CS webserver. If you  skip this step, your changes will only be saved to the database, not published.
 When you've finished, let me know, and I will link in your profile to the faculty listing pages.
