| New SNO Web Site: Access to MySNO and the Neuro-Oncology Center Directory |
|---|
|
|
|---|
Another new feature of the Web site is the Neuro-Oncology Center Directory, akin to a "yellow pages" of brain tumor centers. Every center is invited to submit a listing to this directory to allow their clinical and/or research enterprise to be showcased. These listings are searchable by the public, and by your colleagues, and are intended as an aid in geographic referrals and to build collaborations. Those who wish to include a listing in the Center Directory should click on the Neuro-Oncology Center Directory button and then on "Submit a listing."
Those who have comments or concerns and those who wish to confirm their user name should contact Oliver Bögler (webmaster{at}soc-neuro-onc.org or cell 832-863-4757).
