A Directory Reviewer's primary responsibility is to maintain accurate information of their organization's identity and of the individuals within that organization in the University's Directory. This role is an important one. Up-to-date contact information is vital for the University community and for people from outside the University who wish to find information about divisions, departments, sub-departments, and about the individuals here.

Directory Reviewers are responsible for making changes to the Directory's listings. These updates are made in the Directory Update System. The changes that reviewers make are reflected live in the Directory. Directory Reviewers can make changes not only to individuals' contact listings, but also to divisional, departmental, and sub-departmental listings. Only those who have completed the online training course can access the Directory Update System.

One of the main responsibilities of a Directory Reviewer is to "claim" both the departments and individuals they are in charge of maintaining. Until reviewers claim the individuals and divisions/departments/sub-departments under their purview, they are not able to modify the listings. Additionally, until either a Directory Reviewer or the individual modifies the individual listing, that person will not appear in the Directory with a divisional and departmental (and sub-departmental, when appropriate) affiliation and will not appear in the Directory PDF under the group with which the individual is affiliated. Both individuals and divisions/departments/sub-departments may have multiple reviewers. It is important that reviewers claim all the individuals and groups that they are charged with maintaining.
