Publish a personal website

The EML enables users to publish documents and data on the web. Users may place files in a directory so that outside users can view them with a web browser.

Guidelines

Only individuals who are associated with the Economics Department are eligible to use this resource to distribute information. Participants must observe all departmental and UC campus rules and regulations, and all copyright laws. The EML reserves the right not to post submitted material.

Graduate students may maintain their own homepage using the following guidelines:

  • Posted material at the top level home page is limited to information related to the individual’s academic interests. Listed below are examples of the type of information that is appropriate for the top level homepage:
    1. Biographical information (including the student’s photograph).
    2. Dissertation abstract.
    3. Data sets (with the signed approval of faculty advisor).
    4. Links to other professionally relevant sites.
  • Personal information can be included in a sub-level home page that is clearly identified as containing personal information. This area can include links to sites that are not related to to the individual’s academic work.
  • The posting or advertising of personal items for sale and the posting of any published material (including articles authored by the student) is forbidden.
