Left-side Navigation
This site also features slide-out navigation along the left side to quickly allow users to access various useful links currently found on the Faculty/Staff site. For those who prefer seeing the links in their original form, a "Complete List of Links" replicates the former page of links.
Featured Links
"Featured Links" is a changing list of links appropriate for the given time of year. Whether it is academic advising season or year-end budgetary close out, we'll make important links available to your fingertips. Additionally, call-out boxes link you to relevant campus events of interest to faculty and staff members.

The "Campus News & Announcements" tabbed section features news & information from a variety of sources. These include:
- Featured - Content uniquely written for faculty & staff or drawn from the below sections.
- Announcements - Day-to-day informational items such as: open enrollment, Compensation & Benefits changes, University holiday calendar reminders, campus security reports, Health & Wellness fairs, lecture series, alert messages, University closures, etc.

Baylor Web Search
A "Search @ Baylor" & A-Z search function provide two different choices for locating information within our site. Type the subject of your search in the query box and click on the magnifying glass to retrieve a list of matching resources from Baylor's web sites. Alternatively, you may click on the appropriate alphabetic character to view an alphabetic list of topics within that character.
Directory Search
A "Directory Search" function provides access to the University directory. By logging on with a Bear ID and password, faculty & staff may view Baylor's complete directory.
Calendar & Events
The "Calendar & Events" feature displays a full spectrum of near-term campus activities - Community, Academic Calendars, Arts & Exhibits, Conferences & Lectures, and Human Resources. A "More" button provides access to a broader range of upcoming calendar events.

Providing the resources you need in an easily accessible format is the goal of the new Faculty & Staff website. Its launch culminates a yearlong process. We hope you will find this site significantly improves the accessibility of essential resources for the Baylor family, providing a single-stop for electronic news, the calendar, the online directory, and links to timely information essential to faculty and staff members. You can even check Baylor's weather.

For those of you who typically find your frequently used links on the old "Resources for Faculty and Staff" page, we've got you covered. Near the middle of the left navigation column is a link titled, "Complete List of Links". There you can find a replication of these links in their original context. The headings found on that page also form the basis of the navigational structure on the new site. Simply select the desired heading and a slide-out menu provides one-click access to virtually any faculty & staff link.

This site completes a process that began over a year ago with the discussion of key needs and uses of information in a number of faculty and staff focus groups. Other tools such as the statistical analysis of web resource utilization and conversations with a broad cross-section of those who distribute information to faculty and staff were also used to inform the content and layout of the new site.

Our hope is that the Faculty & Staff site becomes your homepage for Baylor news and information. Be sure to visit the Faculty & Staff site often. Future enhancements for this site will include a section for reporting research awards, mechanisms for you to contribute to the site directly, additional desktop wallpaper selections, an enhanced faculty and staff calendar, and more. It will continue to grow as new tools and resources are rolled out.
