A large organization can have hundreds of digital applications. Some are used by nearly everyone, while others are designed for a particular school, team, department, or role. Finding the correct destination quickly is one of the main reasons a central resource hub is useful. myJH brings together many Hopkins-related tools and resources. It is designed to help users move from a general task—such as checking email, finding a person, locating a department, or opening an application—to the appropriate digital resource. Begin With the Task, Not the Tool Name You do not always need to know the exact name of an application before starting. Think about the result you need instead. You may be trying to: Find a colleague or department Check email Locate an academic resource Access a workplace application Review technology services Find a research or clinical tool Look for account or profile information Starting with the goal can make search results more useful. Enter a simple phrase, then review the available results and descriptions. Search by Tool, Department, Person, or Topic The myJH search experience can be used in more than one way. If you already know the application name, enter it directly. If you are looking for a person or department, use the relevant directory search. If the exact name is unclear, search by topic and compare the descriptions. This approach can be especially useful for new users. Instead of collecting many unrelated links, users can become familiar with the resource names that are actually relevant to their daily responsibilities. Read the Resource Description A result name may not tell the whole story. Before opening a tool, read the available description. It can help explain whether the resource is intended for students, faculty, staff, clinical teams, researchers, or another specific group. A quick review can prevent confusion between similarly named applications. It can also help users understand whether a resource requires additional access, training, or approval. Use Categories to Explore Categories are useful when you want to browse rather than search for a specific item. A category may group tools around a shared purpose, such as communication, administrative work, academic services, accounts, devices, cloud resources, or collaboration. Browsing is a good way to discover resources you may not have known existed. It can also help when a task is new and you are unsure which application is commonly used for it. Create Your Own Shortcuts Once you identify the tools that support your everyday work, add them to your favorites when the option is available. A few well-chosen favorites can reduce repetitive searches and make the landing page more practical. Review your favorites occasionally. As your role changes, you may need new resources and no longer need others. Keeping the list current makes it easier to focus on the tools that matter now. Keep Learning as Your Role Changes The available myJH tools are not static. New applications, updated services, and department-specific resources may become relevant as your studies, employment, research, or clinical responsibilities develop. Use search, categories, and featured resources as a discovery system. A central landing page works best when users return to it regularly, explore the tools available to them, and organize the resources that support their own workflow.
