FOLIO Information

Implementation

In the initial phase , the Dean's Office is soliciting three CVs from each department: one from a senior faculty member and two from junior faculty members. We are asking departments to select faculty who are early adopters, enthusiastic about technology, and willing to review the data after it has been entered. For this faculty population, the Dean's Office will provide administrative resources to perform the bulk of the data entry. After the information has been entered, we ask that faculty review and approve it. For this reason it is critical to select faculty who are interested in new technologies. Please email those CVs to Russell Fitzgerald on or before November 7, 2005. The data entry work is expected to be completed by the middle of December.

While the initial phase is focusing on earlier adopters, as of November 7, 2005 FOLIO is open and available to all faculty and researchers.

How FOLIO works

•  Faculty, researchers, and managers can log in with the same user name and password as they use to log in to their computer, or with their Galen ID and password, or they can create a new account by providing their campus email address and a password.

•  The manager has access to all faculty data in their department and controls any additional access. Managers are responsible for either assigning an assistant (who will enter the data) to each faculty, or delegating that responsibility to one or more staff within their department.

•  Faculty and researchers have access to their data and are obliged to review and approve that data.
