News -> November, 1999 News
The newly revised ARS web site is now live at
www.american-rhinologic.org.
Please note that this is a new URL address for the ARS - if you had a bookmark
for the ARS in your browser, you will need to update that bookmark.
Over the past several weeks, Wildfire Internet Services (www.wildfireinternet.com)
has been developing a new interface for the ARS on-line. This new design
incorporates the latest Internet features, and sets the framework for future
growth.
The revised ARS web site includes this information:
- Information about the history of the society
- President's message
- News
- Information for visitors (including e-mail to the society and patient information)
- Information for members (including e-mail to the society and meeting info)
- Links to related sites
- Site map
Additional items will be added to the site regularly, so that Internet users
have a reason to return to the ARS site. In addition, Wildfire will attempt
to keep our site visible to search engines, so that all Internet users can
find the ARS on the World Wide Web.
The ARS site also has a direct link to the discussion groups of the International
Online Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (www.orl-hns.org).
This Internet journal is hosting discussion groups for a variety of specialty
areas within otolaryngology. ARS members are encouraged to post rhinology
messages in the rhinology groups (as well as the other discussion groups of
this journal).
Although the new site is dramatically improved, additional work still needs
to be done. In the near future, the site will feature ARS Board member profiles.
Electronic abstract submission for ARS meetings is also coming. Finally, ARS
membership records will be shifted to an on-line database that will be secured
behind a server 'fire wall.' This database will facilitate accurate record
keeping for the society, and it will serve as the source for data for the
online membership directory.
Of course, all fellows and members are invited to participate in this project.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please forward them to
arsinfo@american-rhinologic.org
so that we can build an active, viable Internet presence for the ARS.
