Kerlands: /* History */

'''The Gribly''' was the name of a printed publication containing directory information about Students, Faculty and Staff. The name was applied to �鶹��Ƶ' rewritten online directory application in the summer of 2006, when the print version was discontinued in mass quantities.

==History==
A �鶹��Ƶ directory was first published in the 1950's as the "Gustie Directory." After a major reformatting and an original joke title of "The Universal Gribly Index of Gustieville" for the 1966-1967 school year, the directory was rebranded as "The Gribly" and was published every year up to the 2005-2006 school year.

==Printed==
The printed Gribly was a spiral-bound printed directory of �鶹��Ƶ students, employees, and departments, available for free to all �鶹��Ƶ community members. The Gribly's production was generally handled by publications coordinator [[Steve Waldhauser]], working in collaboration with other departments such as [http://gustavus.edu/humanresources/ Human Resources], [[Administrative Information Systems]], [[Core Services]], [http://gustavus.edu/reslife/ Residential Life], [http://gustavus.edu/deanofstudents Dean of Students Office], and [http://gustavus.edu/diningservices Dining Services].

A typical entry in the printed Gribly contained the following information about �鶹��Ƶ students and employees:
* Photo
* Name
* Username
* Home address
* Campus Phone number
* Campus Residence Information
* Class year

While the mass printing of the Gribly has been discontinued, a limited number of copies are printed each year, available for a small fee.

==Online==
An electronic directory has existed on the �鶹��Ƶ Website in some form since 2001. Before 2004, the online directory contained text information from the Gribly, but no photos. During the 2004-2005 school year, Web Services added photo functionality to the directory which could only be accessed by faculty and staff, as a trial run. Although the addition of photos online raised some privacy concerns, the new feature was generally well-received, and the Administrative Council gave the go-ahead to open up student access to photos in the electronic directory for the 2006-2007 school year, assuming certain privacy issues were resolved.

During the summer of 2006, Web Services did a massive rewrite of the online directory application, with user-privacy in mind. This new application was branded "[https://secure2.gac.edu/gribly/ The Gribly]" after the printed directory. The new application was designed to meet and exceed the functionality of the printed Gribly. Some advantages include:
* Being searchable
* Allowing users to immediately edit privacy settings (such as hiding one's photo)
* Always being up-to-date
* Allowing immediate changes editable information
