Introduction

The CES address book includes the names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for all Extension personnel at the University of Wyoming.  The address book is updated monthly, and users are notified by e-mail when an update is released.

The address book file is a comma separated value file and has a .csv extension.  The file name includes the version number that reflects the release date.  The release date is the last five digits of the file name.  For example, an address book file name of UWCES04068 indicates the file was released in 2004 on the 68th day of the year.
