Members' Directory has got
your number
SCI launches new online directory listing of Members'
details.
One of the continual aims of SCI is to create
greater communication and networking between Members.
To achieve this we could lock our Members in
a room together, which we already try to do through the large
number of events and conference meetings we organise each
year.
Alternatively, we could provide the contact
details of Members who want to be contacted, and for the past
few months the Web Team has been working on a sensible system
to do just that – the Members’
Directory, an online directory listing which will allow
the easy searching and the optional submission of SCI Members’
contact details.
Though the Members’ Directory will not
be launched until July, here are some of the features it will
offer. The directory will allow almost complete freedom regarding
which of your own details are shown or not shown, preventing
information being displayed to others that shouldn’t
(such as email and telephone). The only exceptions to this
are the location and expertise fields.
Members can search both for professional and
social reasons from a set of fields ranging from contactable
location and expertise to interests outside of work and chemistry.
Any Member submitting can do so with a professional or social
purpose in mind. Adding, amending or deleting a record from
the Members’ Directory couldn’t be easier; and nor
could deactivating or reactivating your account if you find
you want a rest from your newfound popularity.
