The new version of NABS web opened in mid-October. Since then, there have been a number of developments. Members only section A mechanism to authenticate NABS members was implemented to control access to a secured area of NABS web.
Access is linked to the membership list, and password protected.
Password reminders can be automatically emailed. For now, this section allows NABS members to edit their online profile, but now that the mechanism is in place, it will be possible to offer more services for members only. Although it may have been desirable to have real time updates, this proved impractical with the current system that Allen Press uses. However, they are updating this process and expect to offer a wider range of electronic services in the future. The list is linked to the online membership directory so that coordinates of members should be automatically updated.
