Dear Paleontologists of the World:

Since 2001 the IPA has published a free online World Directory of 
Paleontologists at its website: http://ipa.geo.ku.edu.

The site is immensely popular, and over 1800 paleontologists have already 
entered their data. If you have not yet done so, please visit the site and 
follow the instructions to enter your information online.

If you already entered your data previously, please visit the site briefly 
to verify that all of the information is up-to-date.  If corrections are 
necessary, please complete the form fully and SELECT THE UPDATE BUTTON.

Also on the IPA site you will find the Directory of Fossil Collections of 
the World and the PaleoLink Database.  This would be a good time to update 
your entries to these resources, as well.

Now under development is a Directory of Globally Important Paleontological 
Sites, intended to serve as a global resource of information concerning 
threatened, endangered, and protected paleontological sites.  Also under 
consideration is a Directory of Paleontological Societies and 
Associations.  The officers of IPA welcome your input concerning these 
activities.

The IPA is grateful to the webmaster, Michael Cormack of the University of 
Kansas, for maintaining these directories.

Best wishes to all,

Richard J. Aldridge, President, IPA
Bruce S. Lieberman, Treasurer, IPA
Rosalie F. Maddocks, Secretary-General, IPA
