Collaborative Learning for Environmental Management
A number of new resources have been posted on the Landcare Research "Collaborative learning for environmental management" website over the past two months. Many of these resources relate to themes of stakeholder participation and partnerships. The website provides information, frameworks and processes which can be used by those wishing to more effectively engage different groups of stakeholders in research and development initiatives. A number of on-line papers and reports are also available. Topics covered include participation, organizational learning, group processes, and the inclusion of local and indigenous knowledge and values.

U.S. EPA and USGS: National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI)
Created under the direction of the National Water Quality Monitoring Council, NEMI is a free web site that allows users to compare listed environmental monitoring methods based on a number of search factors, including the analytes (chemical and biological parameters), the media being measured (primarily water analyses, but an increasing number of methods for media other than water, such as soil and air, are being added to the database), and performance information, including accuracy and relative cost comparisons. This resource can be accessed at http://www.nemi.gov.
