Your personal page
Your personal page on Lnu.se and Staff displays information from Linnaeus University's databases for staff. It also shows information that you as an employee have published on the page.
"Why should I care about my personal page?" (ppt; short info about what your personal page contains, why it's important, and how you update it)
Edit your Page
You can access to edit your personal page in two ways:
a) Go to Employees. Click Sign in at the top right, log in with your usual details, and then click on your name.
b) Search for your first and last name on Lnu.se and go to your page. Click Sign in at the top right and log in with your usual credentials.
In the following flyout blocks you will find information about what is on your personal page and how to update it.
Information box with title and contact details
The information in the box at the top of the page is retrieved from databases in the university's various systems. You can't change it yourself.
-
- Job title: Primula. Contact the HR department to change the title permanently. Contact the Communications Department to change to or from a temporary title (e.g. head of department or dean) or to/from associate professor.
- Faculty/department/division: Collected from Primula.
- Telectronic phone number, room: The switching system. Contact the info center to make changes.

Personal photo
Having a photo of yourself on your personal page gives a nice impression and can also help the person looking for you finding the right person. Therefore, we would like to see that you get your portrait photo taken in one of our studies in Kalmar and Växjö. Learn more about personal photo and how to book an appointment.
The photo is published on your personal page and can also be downloaded from there in high resolution. You can either refer media to the page or download it yourself and send it to, for instance, journals or publishing houses. External publication of the photo requires that the name of the photographer is stated (normally “Linnaeus University”).
If it is not possible for you to be photographed by us, you can take (or ask someone else to take) a photo of you with your own camera or smartphone. In that case, adjust the distance and use a white or bright uniform background in a place with good light conditions. Email the photo in original size to the Communications department. Keep in mind that email programmes often reduce the size of pictures unless you choose otherwise.
If you use a private photo, you must make sure that you are allowed to use it in accordance with the Creative Commons regulations; that is to say, the photo can be used freely also by a third party (Linnaeus University, media, etc.).

Publications in Diva
At the bottom of your personal page, your publications are listed, which are retrieved from the database Diva. When you register a publication, always state your username, your department at the time of publication, research subject, and any research group (check with the research director what applies). If you do not do this, your publications will not be listed in the correct way on Lnu.se.
If there are multiple authors at Linnaeus University for the same publication, you must state the user names of all authors. If you experience problems registering a publication in Diva, please contact our Diva support.
