Frequently asked questions
I'd like to find a faculty expert in my area of need. What do
I do?
Search the faculty
database by faculty name, department, discipline, or keyword.
Faculty records include a description of the individual's research
expertise, contact information, departmental affiliation, publication
lists, academic qualifications, and lists of honors and awards.
I used your database and found a faculty expert in my
area of need. What do I do now?
Call the faculty member directly to discuss your questions and get acquainted.
I ran all the keywords I could think of through your database
and still didn't get any hits. Does that mean IT can't help me?
Not necessarily. Most IT faculty are represented in the database,
but they may not have listed their experience in your area of need
even though they could help you. It's also possible that the expertise you
need may not be represented in IT. Your best strategy is to contact the IT department or
research center that
focuses on your area of interest. A resource person there will be able
to refer you to the appropriate faculty expert(s).
Do I have to sign an expensive research agreement or consulting
contract to get help from IT?
No. There are many ways to work with the University, ranging from
student class projects and internships to graduate research studies
to private consulting relationships. Discuss your area of need with the
faculty expert, department, or research center.
