<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Platform Group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be adding an extension to the Request Program site this weekend. If you try to work you will see that the site has an “under construction” message.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We should be up and running on Monday 15 August with a new program choice on the login page. A “Station” option will be added to the existing “Platform” option. For those of you who are currently submitting stations to the Station Dictionary
at ICES, your password will work for both programs. Only a few of you will automatically be involved with the Station Dictionary so if you want to use the Station Dictionary, please contact
<a href="mailto:accessions@ices.dk">accessions@ices.dk</a> for an extension to your platform password.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will notice an added function in the Platform program which you will hopefully appreciate. You will be able to fine-tune your searches by adding multiple attributes in a search box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you notice anything unusual in the functioning of the Platform Request Program. Once testing is completed, you will receive more information about the Station Dictionary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
