How can I locate a person with a specific expertise?

At times, we are asked to refer people who have a specific specialty or resource who can answer questions based on that topic.  There are several ways to find this information, but the two highlighted below are commonly used:

UA Profiles - https://profiles.arizona.edu/

1. This system is fed from UA Vitae and is specific to faculty.  But you can search using keywords when looking for a particular specialty.
   1. Example: poulty, cotton, water, 4-H, nutrition, soil, weeds, etc.
2. This system provides a biography, interests, courses, and scholarly contributions created by the faculty member provided they enter them in their Vitae
3. This system does not have filtering functionality

Extension Directory - https://extension.arizona.edu/directory 

1. This system functions similarly to the one above, but is more specific to Arizona Cooperative Extension
2. It includes ALL Extension personnel, from all across the state (anyone with an Extension appointment)
3. It's not fed from a specific system but is a self-serve tool
1. You can update your profile at any time by logging into the system
4. Search results are based on what's included in your own profile
5. You can filter by Location or by Unit
