Each record within Experts@Minnesota is essentially an online curriculum vitae, containing the expert's name and contact information, current position, qualifications and background, accomplishments, and areas of interest.

Not all University faculty and staff members can be located using Experts@Minnesota. Faculty and staff members must choose to enter the information used on this site, and may choose to enter or display only some of the information that a record can contain. A faculty or staff member who has an Experts@Minnesota record can also choose to suppress his or her record from display on the site at any time.

In addition, individual records may vary in how recently the included information has been updated. Once information is entered in a record, individual faculty of staff members are responsible for updating their information on a regular basis.
