COMMON FORUM NEWS NR. 32 COMMON FORUM meeting in the Netherlands 28&29 februari 2008

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Dear All,
1] COMMON FORUM meeting
From the replies I got  the best dates to meet are the 4e week of February:  Thursday 28 and  Friday 29.
I will inform you about the agenda later. If you have ideas for the agenda please do not hesitate to mail these to me.

The EUGRIS team sent us the following information:

EUGRIS has nearly 3,000 resources.  Resources are links to

* documents (reports, journal articles guidance, books etc)
* glossaries
* information web sites
* software
* hardware

The resources are a large part of the EUGRIS library and you can search them by origin and topic at:
http://www.eugris.info/library.asp

You can search them for specific text at:
http://www.eugris.info/search/search.asp
For example you could look for all resources that relate to radio-nuclide contamination by searching for radio*.  Note the use of the wildcard.
So the text search can help you drill down to information that may not (yet) have a specific EUGRIS topic, or things by a particular author etc.
All of the resource postings on EUGRIS can be associated with projects, organisations and authors.  If you find a resource that interests you, you can follow the link back to the projects, organisations and authors etc to see if they have anything else you might like.
These functionalities are very useful, and we have more developments in EUGRIS which will make them yet more powerful in the future.
Following are links to some of our new additions and additions made during the Summer.
Please feel free to forward this email to any friends or colleagues who you think may be interested in the eugris website.
Happy Hunting!

The EUGRIS team

Best regards,
Joop
