The Virginia Tech Directory is the university-maintained catalog of contact information for faculty, staff, and students. Probably most-accessed through the web-based People Search, colloquially known as Hokie Stalker, the directory is also published in paper form once a year and accessible over the network for automated or human interaction in a number of additional forms, such as LDAP.

The finger server was shut down on January 16th, 2011. [1]
