POD
Site Search Engine
This search tool will allow you to search
the POD Network web site.
POD Custom Search
Engine- for POD Network
faculty development centers
This search tool will allow you to search
the websites of POD Network faculty development centers.
If you have a Google home page (account) and
you click this box,
this Custom Search Engine will be added to your Google homepage.
This search tool will allow you to search
the websites of members of the PODNetwork.
There are over 600 URLs in this search tool.
For the 300 or so who completed the survey
this summer, you can do "refined" searches. After your first
search you will see the following choices at the top of the
search results. If you click on one, you will search only that
subset of the membership.
Carnegie Classifications
(Number that we have in the search tool as of Oct 2007 follows
each): Associates (7 institutions), Baccalaureate (27),
Masters (65), Doctorate (161), Special_Focus (Including Tribal
Colleges) (6)
GTA -- searches websites
designated as primarily for GTAs (about 60 listed). These are
(for the most part) NOT searched in the other refinements. If
you want information about GTA programs, to the extent members
provided the information, use this refinement label.
Postsecondary and
NonCollege_University. Postsecondary is any
institution granting degrees (565). NonCollege_University is
for all POD members who are not degree-granting institutions.
This includes organizations, businesses, consultants, etc
(about 20).
Enrollment at institution:
=<1,000 (7 institutions); 1,001-3,000 (23); 3,001-10,000 (59);
10,001+ (175)
I encourage you to search on your
institution (if you are a POD member) and ensure that I have the
proper faculty development unit represented. First check these
special circumstances:
-
The search tool searches directories. I
checked each URL in order to try and find a directory for you.
Some had "aliases"-- a pretty URL. I probably switched that to
the "real" URL.
-
If your website ends in something like "index.php?page=189"
then your institution is using a Content Management System and
there is no way to search past your main page unless all of
your pages are in a directory of their own. I would need that
directory to search your site.
-
If your website ends in something like
"gsr989.php" or "Teach.html" or "x4995.html" then the tool
will only search that one page. (If it ends in index.html or
something with index or home in it, then we should be getting
that directory.)
-
If you provided your institution's main
page, I did not include it in the search tool. The tool would
search your entire school's site and that would not be
helpful.
-
If you do not yet have a website, that's
fine. Just let me know when you get one. You don't need to
tell me you don't have one.
When you send me a query or correction,
please include your institution name, institution's Carnegie
classification, enrollment and any GTA website.
I won't be able to make immediate
corrections but will save requests and make updates once every
few weeks. Contact
sally.kuhlenschmidt@wku.edu after
you've read the above caveats on what can be searched.
On behalf of the Electronic Communications
and Resources Committee of POD, we hope you find this a very
useful tool.
