On-Campus Simple Search

"Find a:"

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).

"Matching:"

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 Service").

When searching for faculty and staff, you can search for their first and last name, e-mail address, job title, Department, phone number, and office location. When searching for students, you can search for their first, last, and middle name, and e-mail address.

"Results Display"

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.

"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.

On-Campus Advanced Search

"Find a:"

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.

"Last Name"

If you're not sure of the spelling of a name, you can enter parts of the names as well, e.g., "John" to look for "Johnson." You can enter hyphens as well.

"First Name"

"E-mail"

When entering e-mail addresses, you will only need to type the username and not the full address.

"Phone Ext"

Enter just the 4 digit phone extension, and not the entire "781-283-xxxx" number.

"Title"

Enter the person's job title, e.g., "Professor."

"Department"

Use this pulldown menu to choose from available departments and offices (e.g., "Center for Work and Services"). Please note that the department names are very specific; for instance, "History" is not the same as "Art History"

"Office/Location"

Select a location from the pulldown menu. These may include buildings as well as specific offices.

"Class"

Select a class from the pulldown menu.

"Major"

Select a major from the pulldown menu. Majors with the word "Antic" preceding them are the anticipated majors of the incoming class.

"Residence Hall"

Select a residence hall from the pulldown menu.

"Home Address"

You can search for any part of the address, including street, city, area code, or country, but you can only search for the state using the state abbreviation. Since abbreviations will return many results, we recommend that you instead chose a state from the State pulldown menu.

"State"

Select a state from the pulldown menu. At this time, you can only choose US and Canadian states.

NOTE: The choices available in the pulldown menu do not represent all US and Canadian states, but those states that Wellesley students, faculty and staff are coming from.

"Results Display"

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.

"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.
