The purpose of the PSC Locator is to be able to look up everyone at Philander Smith College(that has an e-mail address).  Through this procedure, you will be able to find the names, locations and phone numbers of everyone who is listed in the Global Address Listing.  The data for the Locator is usually downloaded every two weeks from the Global Address List.  If you should find that specific information is incomplete or incorrect, please contact Computer Information Services (cis@philander.edu) with the correct information and it will be edited at your request.

You can do a search/query from any of the fields by using the full First Name, Last Name, and any part of the Phone Number, Office or Department.  For instance:

 

  1. If you are looking for all associates that the last name begins with a “W”, then type in the Last Name field “W” and either press enter or click on “FIND” and that will bring up everyone that the last name begins with “W”.  You can all also type in the full last name (such as Williams)  to be more specific.
  2. You can type in any part of the phone number such as area code only, last four digits, or the pre-fix number.  Ex.:  Computer Information's telephone number is 501-370-5336.  If you type in “5336” in the “Phone” field, then click “FIND” you will pull up everyone who works in that Department.
  3. If you want to pull up everyone whose first name begins with an “A” and the last name begins with a “B” that will bring up everyone who qualifies for that particular query.
  4. If you want to list all who are in the Business Office, use the down arrow and pick “Business Office ” from the “Office” field, then click “FIND”.
  5. If you want to list all who are in the Cashier's Office, use the down arrow and pick “Cashier” from the “Department” field, then click “FIND”.

 

 

Once you have the data listed from your query, it will tell you how many records were found and show how many pages of names (the pages show 10 records at a time).   Then you can sort the list from the title bar above the list.  On FIRST NAMES, left click once, that puts the list in alphabetical order either ascending / descending (toggle). The same goes for each of the TITLES.

 

Once you have the data formatted the way you prefer, you may now send it to the printer.  You also have the option of putting this in an Excel file by clicking the link at the bottom of the list: “Click here if you want to download a Excel file of you search results”.  By doing this, you can manipulate your data even further and print the list you want.

 

 

NOTE -  AGAIN:  The Locator’s information is downloaded from the Global Address Listing.  Therefore, if you do not have an e-mail address, your information will not be included.  All Philander Smith College associates who are eligible for an e-mail address will be included.  If you do not have one, and would like one, please contact Computer Information Services (501-370-5336) for information on having an e-mail address created for you.
