<td valign="top">We have a master schedule for each week posted on each floor of the building.  This is the most up to date scheduling information.  This is where you can find location of a class, conference, meeting and even the bridge number of a teleconference meeting.  The schedule contains the name of the event, the day, the room number, the time of the event and phone number if a bridge teleconference. <br /><br />
<strong>Final schedules</strong> will be called for sometime around mid-semester by the Administrator.  They will then be scheduled.  Final schedules, when completed and during Finals week, will be posted in the weekly schedule boards.

<td valign="top">When it is time to order the textbooks for the next semester, the Administrator will usually email an attached form to be filled out.  This form is a communication tool between you and the Administrator.  Put down any notes or information that will help them know what you want have happen with your order.  The order forms for the following semester come out within the first month to month and a half of a new semester.  Desk copies can be secured from your textbook representatives from the publishing companies.  You will be notified of any of their visits so that you can plan ahead to see them and order any desk copies you might need.  Especially when they state that a new edition is due out, please be sure to ask them for the new edition’s desk copy.  At other times, ask the Administrator to see about securing a desk copy.</td>

<td valign="top">The university e-mail system is Lotus Notes.  There are user groups already defined that are in the system.  You can specify mailings to any students by semester group, the faculty or the staff in Lincoln, or all of the college and campuses.  If you are going to send an e-mail to a student, faculty or staff member, you only need to type a person’s last name into the “To” box and send it out once.  After this, when you type some letters of their last name, it will type their name or part of their name into the “To” box and it will already be populated and come up with the entire address; including the extension.  You can manage your e-mail utilizing folders you create.  It is simple and fast.  Click “Folder” on the tool bar and then click “New Folder.”  This helps you find your work and keeps it out of the inbox.  The inbox size is limited – so delete or further handle items so that they are not sitting in your inbox.  If you are going to be absent such as a vacation, etc, under the “File” tab, the second icon down on the right side of the page is “Automatic Replies.” Click on “Automatic Replies.”  This opens a dialog box where you click on the button “send automatic replies,” then click on the box “only send during this date range.”  Now click  on the calendar for your range of dates that for your leaving and returning.  Now choose “Enable.”  When you return, it will automatically shut off, or you can go back in and turn it off.  You can look for past e-mails quickly.  If you know who sent you the e-mail or the approximate date, merely by clicking.  </td>

<td valign="top">Though we are a UNMC school and are UNMC employees, we are reciprocal Nebraska University employees; thus we too are UNL.  This means we can utilize any department or services that the UNL campus has to offer.  This means we can check out books at Love Library.  We can get discounts when we make purchases at either the UNL bookstore in the basement of the City Union or the commercial Nebraska Bookstore.  We can purchase computer hardware and software from the computer stores.  We can also take advantage of anything going on that is for UNL employees.  You need a UNL identification card to access most of these.  It is easier than trying to get people to accept your UNMC card.  Let the Administrator know if you would like a card and they will get you the form and necessary information to get the NCard from UNL.</td>

<td valign="top">Following are various pertinent forms that you will need to become familiar with and to use: (all forms, except Group E-Mail lists & Fall/Spring Semester Schedule, are located on the bottom two rows of mail slots in the faculty mailbox).
<ul>
<li>Absence Report – Filled out online.  You will need to establish an “ESS” account.  Go to:  [https://firefly.nebraska.edu Firefly].  Follow directions for establishing the account.  </li>
<li>Work Order – This is for faculty to fill out when they are putting in a work order for any secretarial tasks to be completed.  Be through and very specific in your information on what you want to happen and the outcome to be.  It must contain date needed!!  Light, neon green in color.  Put with work to be completed and turn in to undergrad or graduate secretary.</li>

<li>Personal Information Management – use your established ESS account to manage address changes, phone number changes and annual benefits sign-up in addition to tracking your absence information.</li>

<td valign="top">There is a) Conference/Seminar Travel and a b) Blanket Travel.  Blanket travel is travel in state on business of the college with no conference/seminar involved with the trip.  You fill out a Blanket Travel Form and keep a Travel Log.  Get these from the Administrator.  Trips for conferences/seminars are done by filling out the form on the “J” drive or fill out the blue Travel Authorization Form which is kept in the bottom portion of the mailbox area.  This needs accomplished when you first think you may be making the trip.  This form gets signed by the Assistant Dean and turned into the Receptionist.  It will be put into our travel system.  A number is assigned.  You will need this number on your reimbursement information.  Please go to the UNMC-Intranet home page and click on “Quick Links” and then on “Policies” to learn about requirements for both travel and any reimbursements.  Some of the policies are set in stone!  So please read and become familiar with these policies regarding the rules for travel and reimbursement.  Some major things to remember with travel is that you will always need an original, itemized ticket for any purchase (not just the receipt showing amount paid by your credit card) in order to be reimbursed for your purchases.  Without the original, itemized purchase receipt, you will not be reimbursed.  Also if any expense, be it from a trip or any expense you want reimbursed for,  looks to be any part personal in nature there, is absolutely no reimbursement.  </td>
