Install iSilo and our COE Personnel Directory on your PDA

Who are these instructions for?	Primarily for COE faculty and staff. This information is publicly available on our website people finder: this is just another format for the same information.
Why would I want to do this?	To have COE office extensions and office numbers on your handheld device, so you can easily access them away from your desk.

Download and install the iSilo document reader (a shareware program) to your handheld computer. (Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows CE, and Windows versions are available.)

Download links and instructions are provided on www.isilo.com/download/.
After a 30 day trial period, iSilo can be used in "free mode." Tabular data like that included in our personnel directory can still be viewed, but is displayed in a single column mode. Alternatively, you can pay the shareware fee, but this is NOT necessary to enjoy iSilo functionality.

Download and install our latest COE directory in iSoloX format (including faculty/staff name, phone number, extension and office number.)

Sync your handheld device.

Have an iPod? Save this file (coefacultystaff.txt) into the NOTES folder on your iPod. Because of iPod text memo file size restrictions, this file only includes lastname, firstname, and COE phone / extension info. (Email info is not included)

How are iSolo files created?

iSiloX is a freeware program that converts existing text documents (including webpages) to iSolo format. More information is on www.isilox.com. iSoloX is NOT required for people wanting to use our personnel directory or use other iSolo files. It is for developer / content creator use.
