On-Campus Directory

The on-campus directory is available to those in the Wellesley community with a domain username and password, and provides detailed information about Wellesley College faculty, staff, and students. If you do not have Wellesley College domain username and password, or you would like to use a more restricted search, please use the public directory.

Simple Search

The simple search allows you to find faculty, staff, or students quickly using one or more keywords. To generate a search:

  1. Enter one or more keywords into the search field. If you're not sure of the spelling of a name, you can enter parts of the names as well, e.g., "kath" to look for "Kathy" or "Kathleen."

    NOTE: When searching for faculty and staff, you can search for their first and last name, e-mail address (excluding @wellesley.edu), job title, Department, phone number, and office location. When searching for students, you can search for their first, last, and middle name, major, class, phone number, and e-mail address (excluding @wellesley.edu).
  2. Choose whether you want to search for all entries in your search field, or at least one entry. To search for all entries, select all words ("AND" search). To search for at least one entry, select at least one word ("OR" search).

    For example: If you know the person's full name or part of it, you would type it in the search field (e.g., "Wendy Wellesley") and use the AND search. If you only know that the person's name is Wendy and that she works in the Chemistry department, you could try an AND search using the keywords "Wendy Chemistry," and your results would contain all Wendys with information relating to Chemistry. However if you entered "Wendy Chemistry" using an OR search, your results would contain all Wendys as well as other people with information relating to Chemistry. NOTE: If you want to search by department, we recommend that you use the advanced search, as it has an extensive pull-down menu of options (e.g., "Center for Work and Services").

  3. Under Results Display, select Summary or Detail. If you select Summary, your results will be presented in rows and will display the most basic information. If you select Detail, each result will display in a separate box with all available information about that person, including his or her photo.

  4. Under Rows/Page, select how many results you want to appear on each page. The maximum number of results that can appear per page is 200.

  5. Click the Find button when you are ready to process the search. If you want to start over, click the Reset button, and all fields will be cleared. You can also click the Reset button if you are finished with a search and would like to clear the fields and search results to generate another search.

Advanced Search

The advanced search allows you to find faculty, staff, or students by searching under specific categories. The main difference between the simple search and the advanced search is in the way you can search for people. The simple search gives you one field to enter keywords, but the advanced search allows you to search under several different categories. Although they are different search methods, the search results for the simple and advanced search contain the same categories of information. To generate a search:

  1. Select Faculty/Staff, Student, Department, or All (you must make a selection or you will receive an error message).

    NOTE: Depending on which option you choose, different revelant search fields will be available. For instance, if you select Faculty/Staff, you could search under Title and Department, but if you select Student, you could search under Major and Residence Hall. If you select All, then all search fields will be available, and your results will contain faculty, staff, and students.

  2. Fill in one or more of the search fields available. Please note that when entering e-mail addresses, you will only need to type the username and not the full address. Also, you will only need to enter phone extensions, and not entire phone number.

    NOTE: The advanced search automatically uses an "AND" search, meaning that it will only return results that contain ALL the search fields that you specify.

  3. Under Results Display, select Summary or Detail. If you select Summary, your results will be presented in rows and will display the most basic information. If you select Detail, each result will display in a separate box with all available information about that person, including a photo.

  4. Under Rows/Page, select how many results you want to appear on each page. The maximum number of results that can appear per page is 200.

  5. Click the Find button when you are ready to process the search. If you want to start over, click the Reset button, and all fields will be cleared. You can also click the Reset button if you are finished with a search and would like to clear the fields and search results to generate another search.
