Alternate Contact Information and Notes

Users may add alternate contact Information to their record. The purpose of this is to share contact information that is to be used for an extended—but temporary—period of time (e.g., going on a sabbatical).

Some Author Main Menu pages may include a direct link to the Alternate Contact Information pop-up window (on the left side of the page).

To enter alternate contact information:

Open the Alternate Contact Information pop-up window. Click the link described above (if available) OR
1. Click your name in the top right corner of the page to open the user drop-down menu.
2. Click the Update My Information link to open the Update My Information page.
3. At the bottom of the Personal Information section, click the Alternate Contact Information button.
In the pop-up window, enter start and end dates for when this information is valid. Contact fields are pre-populated with primary contact information; make any necessary changes.
Use the notes field at the bottom of the window to enter any additional information.
When the form is complete, click Submit.

Alternately, the editorial office may enter information on behalf of a user by accessing the user's record via the Search People – Update Information page and clicking the Alternate Contact Information button, which opens the same pop-up window described above.

Users may update alternate information by returning to the Alternate Contact Information pop-up window and making and saving changes. Two buttons in the pop-up window also allow for the suspension or removal of the information.
