* I took the Human Subjects test required by NIH and UA for faculty doing
any type of surveys...I passed! It took me about 2 hours to do this open
book test. (The books were sent to each county several weeks ago.) Remember
all faculty are required to take this. Download it at
http://vpr2.admin.arizona.edu/rie/uaonly/. If you have any questions,
contact me or Deborah Young.
* My thanks to Barbara Hutchinson and George Ruyle for their excellent
presentations of the Arizona AgNIC program and the Range Management website
at the joint meetings of the Western Region Deans and Directors last week
in Colorado. We are trying to make this partnership between Extension and
the agricultural libraries a regional effort.
* Thanks also to Barry Bequette, Rob Grumbles, Carol Willis and Steve
Campbell for their participation in the annual Mid-Managers workshop this
