We are pleased to announce that IAMSLIC has recently migrated all of its membership management functions to a new, more fully-featured platform and will no longer be reliant on the old custom scripts that previously supported the membership database. In addition, nearly all of the IAMSLIC website content has been migrated to the same Wild Apricot system. While you can still connect to the website via the old URL and navigate to the new site, you should consider updating any shortcuts to use the new URL: https://iamslic.wildapricot.org.

Among the advantages for members are the ability to log in and update one's own contact information and the ability to pay membership dues by credit card using the same system. Access to the Members Area will now also be available when one logs in to one's personal account on Wild Apricot; the generic member password will no longer be needed for access to member-only content.

The IAMSLIC Discussion List and other regional lists will continue to reside on their current platforms. The Resource Sharing system will also remain on the old hosting service for the foreseeable future. When a member wishes to submit an interlibrary loan request via the Z Catalog or Union List of Marine and Aquatic Serials, the generic member password will still be necessary for access to the ILL forms.

This transition has been made possible through the efforts of a migration work group that was convened by the Executive Board and has been busily working behind the scenes for the past several months.
