When there is a change in faculty, including new hires, all these pages/databases need to be addressed. |
Also, see VIVO contacts.
A square photo, 200*200 pixels.
Faculty member will use this for their VIVO entry.
If we get a copy, we can then lower its resolution to 100*100 for use at the following CCB web site page, <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/faculty/faculty.cfm>.
A landscape photo, 255 pixels wide * 170 pixels high (not the portrait orientation!). Required for their personal CCB faculty page, accessible from <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/faculty/>.
Their “keywords” regarding their research so we can properly create their entries at the following CCB web site page, <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/faculty/faculty.cfm>.
Their research areas, as defined among the 12 areas listed at our CCB web page, <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/research/>.
This information is given to the A&S’s web folks so they can update the CCB matrix with their names, <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/faculty/faculty-research.cfm>.
A string of comma-separated words regarding their research so that text can appear in the appropriate category for each web page linked from the above research areas, <http://chemistry.cornell.edu/research/>.
On Chem’s home page, rotation of faculty in “Faculty” profile box is governed by VIVO and is automated, with data coming from the "people: faculty position" section at:
As of March 2014, we made arrangements to get incoming faculty a page //before// their appointment.
Not required to establish the VIVO entry, but as a reminder, the picture at VIVO is a square photo, at least 200*200 pixels.
Changes in the VIVO section requires contacting VIVO <vivo-contact-l>, as they don't necessarily update as quickly as a dept. would like. For example:
A string of comma-separated words regarding their research is required. That text will appear in the appropriate category for each web page linked from the above research areas. The same text is used within all categories in which it appears.
See "Matrix: Faculty by Research Area", below.
Also with incoming faculty, a profile pages for the new faculty must be create in the Chemistry web site. This requires a netid assigned. Also, a VIVO page is required before the new page shows any data (see section above, "Data changes requiring contacting VIVO"); it will show an error instead.
Faculty must identify their areas of research, from CCB's 12:
As of 6/13/14, changing info on this page requires Bob, in A&S's Communications.
A 255x170 (or larger) image must be sent to A&S's Communications staff to insert into the correct CCB web site directly, which we don't have authority to do:
Test this is done by going to:
http://chemistry.cornell.edu/images/departments/chemistry/faculty-bio-pics/NetID.jpg
All other A&S departments using the A&S CommonSpot web server use VIVO's square images directly. CCB requested something different, as Bob wrote us 3/11/14: I set up something special for CCB back in the day so your faculty pages don’t pull the images from VIVO. CCB has all those beautiful portraits, and I upload those to a directory on the server, and there is logic in the rendering page for faculty bios that says, "If this a chemistry page go out and get a photo from this directory with the file name netid.jpg.” The landscape portraits are 255x170. If you want just send me the raw photos and i’ll cut and optimize them when i upload them to the server.
Consider simply pointing to the photo at VIVO rather than making a (derived 200*200 => 100*100) copy of the photo and hosting it at the CCB web site. See the first link below for an example of that convention.
Testing is hard because the selected photos do not seem to follow a convention. For example, here are the four first entries:
