A Community of Scholars report

Please Load Scholarly Activity On The Portal

May 19, 2017

Faculty members are reminded to load their scholarly activity on the portal in PilotsUP. Data obtained through the portal will be used to populate A Community of Scholars, published by the provost’s office. That data will also be used for the Clark Library’s annual celebration of UP authors. Faculty members use their school’s report on the home tab of the Scholarly Activity Portal to send the data to their respective deans as a part of annual self-evaluation.

For any questions about uses of the portal, please contact John Orr (orr@up.edu); for questions about how to use the tool, please contact Michele Leasor (leasor@up.edu).

A Community of Scholars

June 2, 2014

Thank you to the faculty members who provided feedback to improve the Scholarly Activity Pilots portal after using it to provide information for the Community of Scholars report last year. Please continue to use this tool to report information for the 2013-2014 Community of Scholars report.

Faculty should start loading scholarly activity for the past academic year as soon as possible in order to see their information appear in the fall report. Data will be sent to the marketing and communications office on Saturday, June 14, so please load materials before then.

Faculty members will find their personal, secure access to the portal on PilotsUP (https://pilots.up.edu) under the “Academic” tab. Hover over the Academic tab with your mouse and then click on “Scholarly Activity.” Instructions on how to use the portal appear in the left side bar. For assistance contact John Orr at orr@up.edu or 7857, or Michele Leasor at leasor@up.edu or 7857.
