About the Faculty Expertise website and its profiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty Expertise website \u2014 bates.edu\/faculty-expertise \u2014 features profiles for members of the Bates faculty that are easily searchable by the college\u2019s many audiences, including prospective students, parents and families, journalists, and prospective faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each faculty profile includes academic titles, department\/program associations, relevant expertise, and contact information. Many faculty members have also chosen to include photos, biographical information, and professional links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profile information in Faculty Expertise \u2014 whether drawing from Banner or user-provided information\u2014 will automatically flow into two places: The Faculty Expertise website, and all associated departmental\/programatic websites.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit An Individual Faculty Profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your individual faculty profile automatically appears in two places \u2014 the Faculty Expertise website, and all of your associated departmental\/programatic websites \u2014 and in both instances, the editing experience is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All faculty members and Academic Administrative Assistants (AAAs) will automatically have editing access to their corresponding Faculty Profiles, which can be found on the Faculty Expertise website<\/a>. There are a variety of ways that you can find your profile, including the search function and the AZ list of all faculty. Once you\u2019ve navigated to your profile, look for the \u2018Faculty Login\u2019 link in the right sidebar under the \u201cExpertise\u201d area. Click it and login using your network credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the button says \u201cFaculty Login,\u201d AAAs can login to the Faculty Expertise website here too.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit Names, Associations, Email addresses, Department Chair status, and\/or Phone Numbers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Information in Faculty Expertise such as names, associations, email addresses, department chair status, and phone numbers is drawn automatically from the Banner table PPACMNT to ensure accuracy and consistency across College records and publications including the directory itself. To make edits to any of these fields, please contact Lori Ouellette (louellet@bates.edu<\/a><\/strong>), Administrative Assistant of the Dean of the Faculty\u2019s office. Keeping information in Banner up to date is important because it appears in multiple places, including the directory, Faculty Profiles, and department\/program websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit the About Section?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The About section often includes information about a faculty member\u2019s education, research interests, current projects, and background. Below are two example images of the About section in editing and viewing mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The About section uses a WYSIWYG editor and can accommodate text, headings, lists, images, and links to downloadable files and other websites. Once you click the orange \u201cSave\u201d button, all changes will immediately be made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Links to external websites or documents are best placed in the \u201cProfessional Links\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Change My Profile Photo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your profile\u2019s photo draws from the Featured Image section, which can be found in the right sidebar of the editing screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit Professional Links?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Professional Links describe any external links you might need to put on a faculty member\u2019s profile, such as links to publications, research, or CVs. In viewing mode, any external links will show up under the \u201cLinks\u201d heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit Areas of Expertise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Areas of Expertise, both broad and specific, can be added, deleted, and edited in the editing mode of the Faculty profile. They can be found on the right sidebar of the editing view of the Faculty profile. Broad Areas of Expertise should include more general disciplines while Specific Areas of Expertise should describe more specific areas of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting one of the pre-populated terms that appears as an option when you begin typing in the \u201cAreas of Expertise\u201d field as opposed to creating a new term is preferred when possible for better searchability and cross-referencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit \u201cWhat I Teach\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This area is populated by information in the Professional Activities Report (PAR). It is not visible on the frontend public view of any Faculty Profiles and does not necessarily need to be edited by users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Edit Faculty Profile Visibility and Display of Courses Offered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visibility<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

While profile visibility status is drawn from Banner, an individual Faculty Profile can choose to override this status \u2014 either from Active<\/em> to Inactive<\/em>, or from Inactive<\/em> to Active<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses Offered<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Current courses that faculty members are teaching can be displayed or hidden by selecting either option underneath the \u201cOptional Profile Sections to Display\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Mark Faculty Profiles as On Leave?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using the \u201cOn Leave\u201d section of Faculty Expertise, you can mark a profile as \u201cOn Leave,\u201d and even set a custom message to display instead of the default \u201cOn leave\u201d message if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
