> > As mentioned in the 4/14/20 email at the bottom of this
> thread, through a
> > partnership between IT, Communications, and OFA, we are
> going to be moving
> > personal HSPH profile pages to the Catalyst platform this fall.
> The current
> > process for creating and maintaining profile pages is
> inefficient and time
> > consuming for everyone, so the vast majority of the these
> profiles are
> > outdated, inaccurate, or even empty.
> >
> > This change will result in a directory that will be
> automatically generated
> > and updated from Harvard Catalyst (where you can also make
> changes manually
> > as needed). The result will improve the quantity, quality,
> accuracy, and
> > efficiency of the information available to our communities
> (both internal
> > and external). To better highlight your work in real time
> and keep it up to
> > date, this change will also incorporate two highly requested
> features: 1)
> > publications (an automated list of publications from
> Catalyst) and
> 2) news
> > (an automated feed from the School’s News website).
> >
> > We will be inviting feedback from active users on our
> current profile
> > pages/sites, as well as sharing plans with Faculty Council
> as we go. Below
> > is a rough schedule of the plan, give or take the usual
> margin of error in
> > any large-scale, multi-step project.
