<p class="MsoNormal">The first Databits article of the new issue (Backing up data to AWS) is now out. We encourage you to contribute your own articles (to submit, email
<a href="mailto:jhp7e@virginia.edu">jhp7e@virginia.edu</a> or <a href="mailto:enthusiast@utexas.edu">
enthusiast@utexas.edu</a> ) or a Brief Site Byte (<a href="https://forms.gle/4UM88a6M885Tw5tP8">https://forms.gle/4UM88a6M885Tw5tP8</a>). Help us all out, and share what you know!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marty Downs has set up a number of ways to access new Databits articles, including subscriptions, posting on pages, and even RSS feeds. See her email below for details.

<p class="MsoNormal">New articles will be posted as they are ready, and periodically assembled into “issues” for archival reference.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi John and An--<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A couple of updates. We have a new, combined, <a href="https://lternet.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d7494403ed9d8c97a5479f0d4&id=51157f4ed5">newsletter subscription page</a> that includes DataBits. The DataBits page is here: <a href="https://lternet.edu/story_types/databits/">https://lternet.edu/story_types/databits/</a>
(also redirected from <a href="https://lternet.edu/databits/">https://lternet.edu/databits/</a>). As we complete more stories it will start to flesh out and look more substantial. I may reduce the size of the thumbnail images -- but I can't focus on it right
now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Getting them to run alongside the <a href="https://lternet.edu/using-lter-data/">
LTER DataResources</a> page is easy. Getting them to run alongside the <a href="https://lternet.edu/committees/information-management/">
Committee page</a> will still take a little while. It requires creating a new theme page. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note that you can access a feed of DataBits stories (which some sites may want to add to their own IM pages) at <a href="https://lternet.edu/story_types/databits/feed">https://lternet.edu/story_types/databits/feed</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
