�鶹��Ƶ

The Gribly was the name of a printed publication containing directory information about Students, Faculty and Staff. The name was applied to �鶹��Ƶ' rewritten online directory application in the summer of 2006, when the print version was discontinued in mass quantities.

History

A �鶹��Ƶ directory was first published in the 1950's as the "Gustie Directory." After a major reformatting for the 1966-1967 school year, the directory was rebranded as "The Gribly" and was published every year up to the 2005-2006 school year.

Printed

The printed Gribly was a spiral-bound printed directory of �鶹��Ƶ students, employees, and departments, available for free to all �鶹��Ƶ community members. The Gribly's production was generally handled by publications coordinator Steve Waldhauser, working in collaboration with other departments such as , Administrative Information Systems, Core Services, , , and .

A typical entry in the printed Gribly contained the following information about �鶹��Ƶ students and employees:

• Photo
• Name
• Username
• Home address
• Campus Phone number
• Campus Residence Information
• Class year

While the mass printing of the Gribly has been discontinued, a limited number of copies are printed each year, available for a small fee.

Online

An electronic directory has existed on the �鶹��Ƶ Website in some form since 2001. Before 2004, the online directory contained text information from the Gribly, but no photos. During the 2004-2005 school year, Web Services added photo functionality to the directory which could only be accessed by faculty and staff, as a trial run. Although the addition of photos online raised some privacy concerns, the new feature was generally well-received, and the Administrative Council gave the go-ahead to open up student access to photos in the electronic directory for the 2006-2007 school year, assuming certain privacy issues were resolved.

During the summer of 2006, Web Services did a massive rewrite of the online directory application, with user-privacy in mind. This new application was branded "" after the printed directory. The new application was designed to meet and exceed the functionality of the printed Gribly. Some advantages include:

• Being searchable
• Allowing users to immediately edit privacy settings (such as hiding one's photo)
• Always being up-to-date
• Allowing immediate changes editable information
