Link to Find People
There are two ways to link to the USD e-mail directory: the easy way, and the hard way.
The Easy Way
You can search the e-mail directory on department, office, extension, name, and e-mail address. The keywords that you can use are:
| Query | Keyword |
|---|---|
| Department | department |
| Office | office |
| Extensions | phone |
| Name | name |
The URL you’ll use is http://www.sandiego.edu/search/people/people.php? and then the keyword, an equal sign, and what you are looking for. Any spaces have to be replaced with ‘%20’. As in the normal search, you can use ‘*’ as a multiple-character ‘wildcard’.
If you want more than one, for example, all the Academic Computing personnel in Serra Hall, use the ‘&’ to connect the two.
You can also specify that the results be sorted by ‘department’, ‘office’, ‘phone’, ‘mail’. Results are sorted by name if you don’t specify a sort field.
Examples
| /search/people/people.php?department=Academic%20Computing | Links to Academic Computing entries. |
| /search/people/people.php?office=SH-205 | Links to Serra Hall 205 (SH-205). |
| /search/people/people.php?department=Academic%20Computing&office=SH | Links to all Academic Computing personnel in Serra Hall. (Or at least any building with an ‘SH’.) |
| /search/people/people.php?office=SH&sort=office | Links to all offices with ‘SH’ and sorts by office. |
The Hard Way
If you are familiar with forms, you can create a form and point to the http://www.sandiego.edu/search/people/people.php CGI. Use the keywords above in your form. You will need to use method="get".
