[NHCOLL-L:881] RE: Know what we need?

[Elaine Hoagland]

Is there no institutional memory at ASC/of ASC at all????

We bin there.  We did that.  It should be brought up to date and published
in hard copy as well as in web-friendly format.  It takes work, but if ASC
is not for this, what is it for?  This is one ASC function that both
previous ASC Directors (Steve Edwards and I) cared about deeply as did the
membership.

Say, if there's anyone out there willing to work on a book for the
"Dummies" series titled "U.S. Wildlife Permit Laws for Dummies" I'm MORE
than interested in helping.

I'm sort of kidding, but having just slogged through yet another meeting
with researchers who act totally surprised at the idea that there are
wildlife laws on the books and permits that are needed in order to comply
with said laws I'm desperate for ideas on how to educate the very people
who most need to know about the laws in place and how to work with the
system instead of against it.  I worry too about the students who are being
trained by these folks - they aren't learning about permits and laws,
either.  "U.S. Wildlife Permit Laws for Dummies" should be required reading
for every natural history-related graduate student, if it existed.

Sorry for the outburst, but it's frustrating.  Can I get a hallelujah?
