CTSNet - New Site Enhancements

Image Gallery

CTSNet has added an Image Gallery feature on the home page. Random images are rotated to the home page from the Image Gallery archives.  If these pique your curiosity, go to the gallery itself by clicking here. The archive location is on the home page left menu, under CLINICAL RESOURCES/Images.

Google Calendar

CTSNet has launched a new calendar feature using the Google web calendar to graphically display 2008 and 2009 events for all organizations. This supplements the CTSNet Events list, but provides additional help and convenience to the reader in finding information on a particular meeting. After you have located the dates of the meeting on the calendar, clicking on the name of the meeting at the top of the calendar day will display more information. Give it a try!

Readers comments

A new interactive feature has been put in place so that CTSNet readers may comment on an individual contribution directly without going to a discussion forum to do so. At present, this feature is showcased in two places to illustrate two types of access: (1) a cardiac expert technique article.

The reader comments material is found at the bottom of the right gutter information. This will be the location for most of the content on the website. Clicking in the box will permit you to view or add comments, although for the latter you will need your ID and password. New entries will be visible within 2 minutes from time of publication on the article page. (2) A second type of comment access is found in the Safety Reporting System section, where under each vignette name is a comment link that will access the same system detailed in (1) above.

Any organizations that would like to use the Reader Comments system for their articles should contact Robert Oberteuffer (roberte@ctsnet.org) for setup.

Going forward, each new piece of scientific content posted on CTSNet will have this comment capability available. Because of its simplicity and convenience of use, we anticipate a lot of author/reader and reader/reader interactions, an activity that should be useful and instructive to everyone. Please participate!
