- In the UNC-CH INFO, select item #11 (Student life), then item #12
- (Finances/expenses/aid), and then #4 (Expenses). As shown on the bottom of
- the screen, that information came from the Undergraduate Bulletin, which
- we split up and put in by subject -- a practice I don't recommend.
- Also, from the main menu, you can select item #2 (About UNC-CH), then item
- #9 (Statistical profile) and then item #1 (Basic statistics) -- it is on
- the third screen. This table came from the "Fact Book."

- I think this is a very good idea, but we don't have one yet.

- I'm not sure it was a "marketing tactic," but when we got jobs in our
- system, the Human Resources Office sent a memo to everyone on campus
- telling them about it and how to access it. That really got the people on
- our campus using INFO.
