<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">At our meeting this month we'll be discussing a new "LTER IM Manual" website that Marty Downs has implemented for the benefit of IMC. Marty and Tim Whiteaker will introduce
the new website, then discuss its purpose and scope, how it can be a resource for new and experienced IMs alike, and how you can contribute to its development. We'll save some time for discussion about this website and other important resources for IMC.
<b>We'd especially like to hear from newer IMs during the discussion</b> regarding what resources you need or have had difficulty finding.<br>
