to New! Page WhatÕs New on Our Website? Last Updated 16 March 2012 Enrichment
Idea Database (EIDB) Now Available! Over 2 years in design, the EIDB is finally up and running
– well, sort of! We are currently running a test phase of this database
that all registered users can access once they log in. This searchable database
is initially being populated with ideas from the last 20 years of The Shape of
Enrichment Quarterly and the proceedings from several Enrichment Conferences.
Volunteers are diligently entering ideas from these articles and our thanks go
out to them all, most especially Tony Dobbs, for their efforts! Only ideas that have been tried are eligible for inclusion
in the database. Once entered, each idea is first reviewed and then approved by
various Shape editors prior to its inclusion in the database. So, while a few
hundred ideas have been entered to date, only about 50 are currently available
for viewing. The records in the database include searchable information
such as: Taxonomic Group, Enrichment Goal, Enrichment Category, Materials Used,
Cost, Construction and Installation Times, Appearance, Durability, Cleaning
Options, and Facility Type. Each record will also include information on where
the idea was tested, a description of the idea and safety concerns, assessment
method used, and a citation if the idea has been published. Later this year, the EIDB will be accessible only to subscribers
who have ordered their subscription via our websiteÕs online ordering page. At
that point, subscribers will be able to enter ideas that they have tried and/or
comment on ideas already in the database. NEW! Shape—Sweden Is Now on the Website! Shape—Sweden has
created their website pages – click on ÒSwedenÓ under ÒRegionalsÓ (or on
