AIC site moves to a new home

AIC has moved to a new host

http://conservation-us.org

where you will find greatly expanded offerings for both conservation (and allied) professionals, the public, and members. AIC members will be especially happy to know that they will now benefit from member-oriented services well beyond those that CoOL has been able to provide.

CoOL and AIC continue to work together to provide quality information for the conservation community. AIC and CoOL have had a long, and happy history together--the first AIC documents were added to CoOL in May 1994, when CoOL was still a Gopher and WAIS site-- and I'm very pleased to say that much of the content you're used to seeing here will continue to be available in CoOL.

The Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (JAIC) remains here, as do the sites of the AIC Specialty Groups, including publications such as postprints, annuals, reports, abstracts, etc., from
