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.
University
DirectoriesYou can also access the
University of Maryland’s
complete directory by visiting

Directory information is the ARES human
resources system. This system is used not

from the list on the left side of the
