Dear All,
With apologies for cross posting
I am pleased to announce that Informs is now available and ready to use from
our Intute server. This means that registered users can now log on to
Informs at the following URL:
www.informs.intute.ac.uk <http://www.informs.intute.ac.uk/>
using your existing account username and password. If you need to be
reminded of this, please contact me.
You can request a registration as a new user at:
http://www.informs.intute.ac.uk/register.html
Thank-you for your patience while Informs has been unavailable, during the
final transfer from Huddersfield University.
You will notice that the administration interface has changed, with
additional functionality and a new 'look'. We have produced a short guide
to the new interface at:
http://www.informs.intute.ac.uk/documentation/Informs_quick_guide.pdf
This is the first in a number of software improvements which will be taking
place over the next few months. As I mentioned in my previous e-mail, we
will be consulting with users about new developments and a sustainable
future for Informs. The ethos of the project is for changes to evolve over
this period so that users can contribute to developments, rather than to
have a 'big bang' approach to change things all at once. A number of users
have kindly accepted an invitation to join our Advisory Forum, which will be
meeting twice over the next two months. Unfortunately we couldn't invite
everyone we would have liked to join us, but I will be reporting back to
this list on our discussions. I have already received several really useful
collections of comments and suggestions which will inform us and in addition
we will be running a user survey. However, I am very keen to receive more
ideas or suggestions from users at any time.
Please contact me with comments on the new interface, we are really
interested to hear what you think!
Kind regards,
Diana.
