Information Seekers gain general knowledge about a career in child and family policy, browse listed organizations, or search for a specific internship, fellowship, volunteer position or job opening.

Information Providers establish an account to list their organization and log in to edit their organization's information and to post internships, fellowships, volunteer positions or job openings.

Overview of Information Provider Side

In the information providers section of the site, you can find out about "Why to List Here", the "Types of Information Providers" that we include on the site, and general "Announcements."

Once you are ready to begin using the system, the first thing you need to do is "Request an Account" (unless you've been provided with a temporary login and password, in which case you can proceed straight to "Login to the System").

Once you have established an account, you can "Login to the System" to view, add and delete information about your organization.

Editing and Posting Information

After logging into the system, you will have the following options:

• Edit existing organizational information
• Create a new unit (Generally used only when one person will maintain information for several distinct units within a single organization)

• Edit your contact information and password
• Delete/transfer your authoring account

• Send email to the system administrator
• Log in again as a different user (Generally used only by the system administrator)

The web pages have instructions to walk you through each of these processes.

When you choose to edit information for your organization, you will be able to enter or modify the following types of information about your organization or company:

Activating Information

Information that you edit is not accessible to site visitors until you activate it. Thus, you can edit information over more than one sitting, activating it once complete. You can also:

• Save Information: You can deactivate (rather than delete) information about an internship/fellowship or job/volunteer position once the opening is filled and thereby "save" it to edit and reactivate if a similar position will be offered in the future.
• List Recurring Programs: You have the option of making internships/fellowships "recurring," thus allowing information to be continually available about positions that are offered year after year.
• Specify an Expiration Date: You can specify an expiration date so that a listing is no longer visible to site visitors after a certain date has passed.

Three Kinds of Contacts

There are three kinds of contact information maintained on the web site:

Author Contact: Contact information for the person who logs in to edit and post information. This information is required, but is for internal purposes only and is not accessible by site visitors.

Organizational Contact: Contact information for the organization. Beyond city and state, you may provide as much detail as you like for site visitors interested in more information about the organization and possible internship, fellowship, job or volunteer openings (e.g., you may provide, if desired, a contact person's name, a street address, a phone number, a FAX number, and an email address).

Internship/Fellowship/Job/Volunteer Opening Contact: Contact information for each internship, fellowship, job, or volunteer opening that you post. Like the organizational contact, beyond city and state, you may provide as much detail as you like for site visitors interested in more information about the particular opening (e.g., you may provide, if desired, a contact person's name, a street address, a phone number, a FAX number, and an email address).
