An interactive directory (Fig. 2) provided for a workstation (110) having connected video monitor (132) and adapted for network access has an interactive display for displaying status for individual entities, being persons and organizations. Entities are listed in the display along with status for each entity (Fig. 2). There may be multiple fields for status, and some fields display telephone numbers, while others may provide alphanumeric display (Fig. 2). A remote contact address is stored and associated with each directory entity, and when the directory is active, the workstation (110) accesses status information from network sources associated with individual directory listings.
