We will hold a webinar on Tuesday, February 20th, 2018, at 1 pm MST, soliciting your input on our future development.
 
The i5k Workspace@NAL is writing up a new 5-year project plan. We would like to solicit your input on our future development. In this webinar, we’ll start by reviewing the i5k Workspace@NAL accomplishments in the past 5 years. We’ll then transition into suggestions for where our focus should go in the future. Finally, we’ll have an open discussion session in which you can ask questions, give suggestions as well as critiques.

We have NEW connection information for the webinar. We are now using WebEx. Even if you have used this software before, you may need to install an additional application for the audio connection - so please give yourself plenty of time to do this.  Alternatively, you may find that a phone connection will provide you the best audio, in which case you can have WebEx call your phone to easily establish that connection.
 
Options for WebEx connection:

• Connect to the Web Conference using the WebEx application. Using the link above, enter your name and email then select “Join Meeting” to download the application, which will launch once installed.
• Connect through your WEB BROWSER without downloading the WebEx application. Using the link above, enter your name and email then select “Join by browser”.
• The options described can only be selected after entering a name and valid email.
   

Dear users,

We have updated our dataset submission forms to include only one form, instead of the previous 3. We hope this change minimizes confusion when submitting your datasets!

You can find the new form here (login required):
