CMU
uses the Faculty Information Database (FID) to collect information regarding
scholarly activity, facilitate the research efforts of our faculty and
prepare for accreditation. Eventually, departments may be
incorporate FID material into their Web sites. In the future, faculty
may use their individual database records to compose and format their
curriculum vitae.

If your materials are in electronic form, you may copy and paste from
your file directly into the FID. You need not complete the steps in
sequential order or in one session. However, it is important that you
understand how the FID works so that you do not lose the information
you have entered. You should read the
General Instructions and click through
the steps before entering any information to familiarize
yourself with the system.
FID Composer note: Faculty who do not
have materials in electronic form may use the
FID Composer, a
Microsoft Word file to compose, spell check, and
character count entries for each step. Once FID Composer file is
complete, you may copy and paste from that file into each FID step.

Security note: For security
purposes, always log out when you are finished with a session. The
system will automatically log you out after sixty minutes of inactivity,
though the form will remain in the browser window. If you are
automatically logged out, the system does not save any information you
may have added to a step since the last time you saved that step. To
resume work
after you have been automatically logged out, you must log in again.
Javascript note: Please make sure
your browser is Javascript-enabled (usually enabled by default)
before you log into the FID. If you need help enabling Javascript, call the Help
Desk at (989) 774-3662.
Browser note: For best results using this system,
please use either the Netscape 7.x or Internet Explorer 6.x Web browser.
