HGS Website Redesigned Menu Tips

HGS Website Redesign
 May 5, 2008

We hope you find the redesigned Website a place where you can do your HGS business easier.
 
Here are a few tips to help:
To register for a meeting or event, click on the large brown button (left), "View Technical Program" to go to the calendar. Then click on the event to register exactly the same way as you did on the old website.
Note you can also go to the Monthly Calendar by clicking the horizontal green Menu Tab "Activities and Events".
To change your member information, click on the large brown button (left), "Update Member Profile" to see your contact information. If you want to change it, click on the "edit" link or small pencil icon.
To join HGS click on the large brown button (left) "Join HGS". Active members are geologists or geophysicists, Associate Members are students and non-geoscientists. Dues are $24 a year.
A great deal of information can be found under the Menu Tabs extending horizontally in the middle of the page:
To search the membership directory, click on "Search" (middle menu tab) and select "Members". The Search tab will allow you to search for committee information, events, and articles, as well. The Google search bar on the top of the page can search for key words inside the entire HGS site.
Our photo albums are under the Menu Tab "Activities and Events" / "Event Photo Albums".
Our new focus, "Science Education" is currently being updated, please be patient.
Our "NeoGeos" section is also currently being enhanced. It is for early career professionals and is a great place to investigate.
The "Jobs" tab (far right) is still the best place to look if you want a job or career change. You can post resumes or look at the many job postings there.
Additional information can be found under the Menu Tabs at the top right of the page:
"About HGS" has information about HGS leadership, committees and office location.
"Directory" is a search for member contact information.
"Volunteer" is currently being enhanced so please be patient.
"Contact Us" is the place where you can easily contact various people within the HGS for assistance.
Questions or problems finding things on the new site? Email the Web Manager Lilly.
