Questions (and answers)

There is incorrect information on my faculty page. How do I correct it?

Contact Arts and Sciences Communications <as_communication@cornell.edu> (see "Hosting", below).

Q: Who runs the site and the faculty pages?

Hosting

Main site

A&S Communications is responsible for creating and hosting the department's website. It runs on Drupal.

Faculty pages specifically

A&S Communications create and maintain the faculty pages and the associated "feeds" from VIVO, Workday, and WhoIAm.

  • Arts and Sciences Communications <as_communication@cornell.edu> does not provide faculty with any how-to documentation on-line. If asked, they have useful PDFs and JPGs they can send faculty, and other useful information.
  • As a courtesy, here are items procured from A&S Comm June 2016, of which A&S Comm may have more current versions and can provide context and corrections:

Q: To update my faculty page's information, I updated VIVO, Workday, and/ or WhoIAm. It didn't work. Why?

A&S Comm noted June 2016:

  • We're not specifying "refresh times" as these can vary quite a bit, and some data fields are set up to import automatically, while others we import manually on a schedule. No piece of information should take more than 24 hours to show up in the new profiles after making an edit in VIVO or Workday. If any faculty members do have concerns that updates are getting delayed longer than that, (...) let us know then.

Ownership

The Chair, via the "Website" faculty committee, is the owner of the website. This includes navigation, content, and how content is arranged, presented, and updated.

Day-to-day operations

The Chair's Office staff manages or coordinates the day-to-day operations of the site. They may be reached at <chemweb@cornell.edu>.

  • They work under the direction of the "Website" faculty committee.
  • They help to clarify who the "owner" of various content of the site belongs to.
