Hello everyone,
If you’ve been to the website any time in the last week or so, you’ve seen that it has been revamped. Marcos Osorno, our Director of Program Support, has put a lot of time and effort into getting this new platform up and running.
Although much of the content and layout is still the same, there are a few differences I would like to point out so you are able to navigate and use the website as easily as possible. Specifically, I want to explain the options you’ll find on the drop-down member bar:
The Forum tab links you to our online discussion forums, which are open to all TWI members.
The TWI Update tab is a posted and easily accessed version of the TWI Newsletter we release on a regular basis, keeping you updated on various events and announcements.
The Library is what the “Documents and Reports” section used to be. Within the library you can find and download all of the forms and literature we have produced, from group accession forms to TMPs. They have been categorized so that they are easy to find and download.
Next to the Library is the Leaf Litter tab, which is an archive of past and present issues of our member magazine available for download (previously this e-zine could only be accessed through the forums).
In addition to the new website, we also have a new tool for ASN members: animal transfer cards. One thing stewards have brought up is how the accession information of registered animals should be passed along to people purchasing those animals. In response to this, Lee Hancock created a card template to simplify the transfer of this information. The template for these cards can be found in the Library (ASN > Amphibian Transfer Cards).
There are more projects on the way and the Ranitomeya imitator TMP is very close to being released…so stay tuned for more updates in the near future. It’s amazing to see the collective accomplishments of members’ time, effort, and passion for amphibians—TWI would not exist without it!
