    LandHelp.info II: providing collaborative Web services to the world through a modern interactive format for private and public uses
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-09) Schrupp, Donald L., speaker; Halseide, Peder, speaker; Benson, Delwin E., speaker; Calderazzo, John, moderator; International Wildlife Ranching Symposium, producer
    LandHelp (www.LandHelp.info) was developed and used over two decades by professionals and consumers to easily store and retrieve web-based links to manage land, wildlife and people under a common brand name. LandHelp was developed as a first-stop-shop to evaluate, organize and provide access to existing useful information from credible sources that might otherwise go unnoticed, not accessed, or not heeded. LandHelp started when a network of organization professionals were seeking management information for landowners and found that significant written information existed, from a variety of sources and formats, but it often was pulled from print without notice. The web emerged as a commonly-used, dynamic and editable, information resource; consequently LandHelp was created for outreach. A recent evaluation, resulted in an improved, second generation content management system including the original > 5000 web-based links and/or PDF documents and it now uses a dynamic, data-based approach providing for more opportunities to collaborate in its development from the conservation communities that include natural resources professionals, agriculturalists, and resource users. Regular visitors to the site can become registered users, which allows them to provide interactive feedback on LandHelp content, and if so inspired, to submit content themselves for monitored posting at the site. We will present an overview of LandHelp's layout and capabilities. We encourage Wildlife Congress participants to visit LandHelp and take it for a test drive. The ideal outcome is for all states, provinces, and countries to have approved contributors to LandHelp; then, your inputs can be accessed and shared with others.
