When the system debuted in July 2000, it already contained information for more than 142,000 JHU alumni. Basically, alumni control how much personal information is available to other alumni. If desired, all information can be blocked from view. To fully benefit from this new system, however, alumni are encouraged to allow access to their contact information. This could include current business address, telephone number and e-mail address.
