NSS NEWS, AMCS JOURNALS ADDED TO CATALOG

The Karst Information Portal has recently posted the contents of several speleological publications that were previously unavailable in an electronic (PDF) format. As part of a pilot project in conjunction with the National Speleological Society, KIP staffers have digitized and uploaded two years' worth of NSS News issues (1999 and 2000), with most of the rest of the back catalog to be added in the coming months. Also, three titles published by the Association for Mexican Cave Studies - the Bulletin, the Newsletter, and the Membership Activity Letter - have also been digitized and uploaded. Coverage is from 1965 to 1977. All issues are freely downloadable and fully text-searchable.

KIP is the only source for electronic versions of these publications. More titles will be added to the KIP catalog over the coming months. To browse these or any other titles held by KIP, click here.

White-Nose Syndrome


Bats living in caves and mines in the northeast US are suffering from a disease of unknown origin that is externally evidenced by a white fungal growth on the animal's nose and wings. The condition disrupts hibernation and feeding cycles and is a serious threat to bat populations.

Bat Conservation International has established the White-nose Syndrome Emergency Response Fund to speed research by awarding seed grants of $2,000 to $5,000.
