Joining DMG
Membership is determined by participation
in WebBoard. Creating an account on WebBoard allows communication
with DMG members.
CITES has graciously given us a WebBoard space. With this space,
we can create "Conferences" or sub-interest groups. The
benefits of WebBoard are numerous:
- archiving
- full text search capabilities
- threaded discussions
- member profils
- the option of participating in discussions in either a listserv
or newsgroup fashion
Join our group by creating an account on our WebBoard. Use the User
Profile to briefly describe your job duties.
New WebBoard User Direction
This process is mildly challenging -- so please feel free to email
me (knystrom@uiuc.edu) and
I'll create an account for you. To subscribe in a listserve fashion
whereby posts are emailed to you, be sure to follow step 4.
- Create an account:
- go to http://webboard.cites.uiuc.edu:8080/~UI_Datamasters

- use your network ID for you logon name
- a temporary password will be sent via email
- Logon with temporary password and username
- Edit your password and other information by selecting "Edit
Your Profile" from the "More" button on the menubar.
- To receive posts in a listserve fashion, subscribe to the discussion
"mail lists." Select "My Mailing Lists" from the
"More" button on the menubar.
