The information in this document appears in the Administration section of the Directory. The hierarchical position of the department is controlled by Public Affairs.
Every department has at least one person who is responsible for maintaining their department information in this directory. Departments wishing to grant or remove access for department editors should contact the Office of Public Affairs at 578-3887 or tmizell@lsu.edu.
How to Edit Your Department
Editors are required to observe the Administration Editorial Standards listed below. Public Affairs reserves the right to make any corrections to the department document as they see fit.
Hiding/Showing the Department Address
There is one line available for the name of the department. Immediately following this line are some optional lines for an address. Most departments do not use or need these lines and they may be hidden from view by selecting the "Hide/Show" toggle link to the left. If these lines are used, they appear centered and italicized directly below the department name.
Formatting Your Listing
The body of the department listing consists of a number of lines in two columns for an entry (a name, office or address) and a phone number. To the left of each line are four command icons that affect the appearance of that line: Bold, Italic, Outdent, Indent. The Bold and Italic icons are toggle switches which turn the effect on or off. The Indent icon simply indents the line to show its relationship to the previous line. Each click of the Indent icon positions the beginning of the line further inward. The Outdent icon is used to reverse that direction.
Adding or Deleting Lines
At the right hand side of each line are two icons which are used to insert and delete lines. Clicking the Insert icon causes all of the information below that line to be shifted down one line and a new blank line is inserted at that position. The Delete icon removes the selected line and shifts all of the information below it up one line. The speed of the Insert and Delete commands depends on the number of lines that must be moved up or down. The cursor will change to an hourglass icon while the operation is being performed.
Several empty rows are always given at the end of the department for entering new information. If you need to add more empty rows, click the 'Add More Rows' link at the bottom of the page and 10 more blank rows will be added. This may be done one more time, for a total of 20 additional rows. After that point you will be required to save your changes before additional lines can be added.
Remember to save your changes by clicking the Save button!
Editorial Standards for Administration Listings
- Lines of address information (street address, campus building, PO Box, city/state/zip) are always italic. Lines containing names of people, departments or offices are never italic.
- Department and office names may be bold or plain as needed for clarity.
- Names of people are always plain -- never bold or italic.
- Employees should be listed in hierarchical order (i.e., Vice Chancellor, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Director, Coordinator, etc.). Employees within a single department/office who have the same title should be listed alphabetically.
- Long entries that appear to be longer than the space given should be entered completely in one line. Do NOT split the entry into two lines. The system will determine when the entry is too long and automatically continue it on the next line as needed.
- There should be only one phone number per line.
- Fax phone numbers are preceded by 'FAX'.
- The area code should NOT be given unless it is different from the local area code (225).
- The minimum number of digits given should never be less than seven, i.e., the '578' prefix cannot ever be assumed or abbreviated.
