We're a large staff, so only the heads of divisions are listed on our staff
contact page:
http://metronet.lib.mi.us/SFLD/staff.html
However, on our intranet, a photo directory of the whole staff is provided
with descriptions of job responsibilities, phone numbers, and e-mail.  This
helps with new staff or subs in knowing who everyone is and who to contact
regarding what.
