(1) Enter a name in the "Principal Investigator" field to find out what projects are listed for that particular person.

2) Use the "Text Field Search" to look-up a specific topic or keywords.

For multiple word searches, use quotation marks.

(Example: "artificial intelligence" or "game theory")

(3) The "Project Search Criteria" section works basically the same way. Both the faculty and projects section have some sorting capabilities for the search results. Just change the pull-down menu for the sort order criteria.

(4) To find out more information, click on the "alien head" icon next to each field (in submit mode) for definitions or explanations of each field. A pop-up screen will appear and give you a definition and examples about the information requested in this field.

(5) When you are finished entering new data, your name and phone number must be entered (these are required fields), click the "SUBMIT CHANGES NOW" button. Information goes to a "holding" site, then notification is sent that an update should be made. New information will be entered into the KnowledgeBase within 1-2 days after it was submitted.

(6) Since this is a restricted site, you will not be able to access this page unless you are using a computer on campus, have established an MIT remote "tether" account, or have acquired the appropriate electronic certificates.
