The UF/IFAS Directory system provides directory information on all UF/IFAS employees (faculty, TEAMS, USPS, OPS) as well as courtesy and affiliated faculty. The directory system is used to 1) find employee directory information and job responsibilities, 2) send an email through IFAS-wide Listserv by authorized users, 3) find a unit's directory information and website, 4) provide maps for on-campus units and IFAS state-wide facilities; 5) view Extension faculty by program areas, and 6) send an email to employees in a selected unit. The directory content is maintained by Unit Liaisons and employees.
On the search data entry form, enter the first and last name (i.e. John Smith) of the person you want to find. If you don't know the person's full name, you can search by either first name or last name. If you don't know the person's full name or exact spelling, simply type in the first few letters of first name or last name. The search results will display all the records of all the people whose names contain those first few letters. If you know the person's email, you may search by email. You may also perform your search by different criteria in the advanced search.

Select the unit name from the pulldown option. Then click on the Search button to display the unit's directory information and web address.
If you want to find someone in a unit, Advanced Search allows you to search for a group of people who meet your search criteria. First, select a unit name you want to search. Then you may limit your search with employee job responsibilities, and employee type. If you choose more than one check box in the employee type or job responsibilities, employees that meet either criterion will be displayed. For example, if both Extension and Research are selected under job responsibilities, the search results will include all faculty in the unit with either extension or research appointment.
Employees may update their information by signing in My Directory. Also, unit liaisons are assigned from each unit to update the directory. If you find your directory information is incorrect, you may update yourself or contact your unit liaison to update the directory database.
