Editing profile information in Experts.Illinois from an LAS Framework department website
Brief introduction to editing profile information in LAS Framework websites
LAS Framework websites provide a simple way to maintain a profile page for each faculty and staff member in your department. The source used for information is either Experts.Illinois (for tenure-program faculty members) or the Campus Directory for all other full-time staff. These instructions guide you through editing your Illinois Campus Directory information. If you are not a tenure-program faculty member, follow the Instructions for Campus Directory users. Additional help can be found on the Illinois Experts website. Those wanting to highlight particular publications should watch this video.
