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 [[w:LDAP|LDAP]].
==History==
Before 2010, it was necessary to make your PID visible in order to log in to terminals at the [[Math Emporium]] and [[Torgersen Hall]]. The [[w:Finger protocol|finger]] server was shut down on January 16th, 2011. <ref>[http://www.middleware.vt.edu/doku.php?id=middleware:ed:edlite:finger] Before 2010, it was necessary to make your PID visible in order to log in to terminals at the [[Math Emporium]] and [[Torgersen Hall]].</ref>
==Individual Information Control==
What information is displayed can be modified through [[My VT]]. Faculty and staff cannot completely remove their listings, but students can.
