[NHCOLL-L:3832] SAIAB Collection Reopens

[Willem Coetzer]

Dear colleagues

 

This is to announce that the SAIAB Collection has reopened for loans.  You
will recall that we closed the collection in June 2006.  We built a new,
dedicated, off-site collection facility next door, and moved the collection
from our basement into the new facility, while performing necessary curation
and also undertaking a complete specimen inventory.  This 2-year process has
just been completed. 

 

Please visit our website at  <http://www.saiab.ru.ac.za/>
www.saiab.ru.ac.za, where you will see a link to a slideshow containing
images of the SAIAB Collection Facility and the move process (or go directly
to the slideshow at  <http://www.saiab.ru.ac.za/comms/Reopening.pps>

Please also visit the SAIAB Information Portal (
<http://saiab.ru.ac.za/infoportal/> http://saiab.ru.ac.za/infoportal/),
where you can query our collection database, image collection and freshwater
fish distribution maps, as well as use our online taxonomic keys.

 

We look forward to your collaboration and visits to the Institute.

 

Ofer Gon and the collection staff
