Directories and Address Books

There are several places you should maintain correct location and contact information for yourself.

BMGT Address Book
To access a complete listing of Smith Faculty, Staff and Students, you can access the BMGT Address book through the Lotus Notes Client or from the BMGT Address book on the web.

Everyone with a Notes account has a profile located in the BMGT Address Book. This profile is useful in keeping your information up-to-date so that other faculty, staff and students can locate your office, phone number, or email address. Please keep this profile up to date.  If you're setting it for the first time, or if your address or contact information changes, just open your personal entry in the BMGT address book, click the edit button, and change that information. For a way to do this over the web, please go to update your profile.
