First Time Visitors

If this is your first time here, the Mission Statement is probably a good place to start. As far as navigating efficiently in these pages, we suggest you begin with a look at the Navigation Aids, which provide a rather good introduction for new users. You may also want to have a look at Group Work Tools , many of which are available to visitors as well as to team members. You should also find it useful to check out the other sites and tools which can be accessed by the links just to your left in this section. Beyond this. . .

Entering Team Members

Entering team members are invited to familiarize themselves with the ASSIST portal overall (as per the above), and then continue their first visit with the Partner Introduction followed by a tour of the Intranet Introduction and Guidelines, and the other indicated sites for this first familiarization. This entire visit will probably take more than an hour, even with a very fast link, but it should be well worth the investment as the project moves ahead.

Outreach Program

And since this is an open project which invites collaboration and interaction in many forms, you may wish to have a look at and eventually respond to the Collaboration Guidelines.

To close out this first visit, if you are generally satisfied with what you see here, we next invite you to sign in so that you can have full access to the whole of the site and its tools. For the rest, we think you should find the site and its multiple menus reasonably intuitive and user friendly. But if we have this wrong in any respect, we count on you to get in touch and let us know.
