Southern Growth Launches Two New Online Tools
Southern Growth Policies Board recently announced the launch of two new, searchable web-based tools and the redesign of its website.
The Southern.org website has been redesigned to provide users with improved navigational tools and greater access to Southern Growth's research, toolkits, best practices and publications. Southern Growth also added a scrolling regional calendar and two new, searchable online tools -- the Southern Compass News Portal and the Southern Growth Idea Bank.
The Southern Compass News Portal at www.southerncompassnews.org includes a searchable archive of Southern Growth's weekly e-mail newsletter, Southern Compass, with additional tools. The portal offers users the opportunity to research articles, publications, press releases, announcements and trends in four broad areas - community & quality of life, globalization, technology & innovation, and workforce development - chronologically for up to a year's worth of Southern Compass issues. Users can search more than 900 articles by keywords, broad categories, chronologically or in combination. The Southern Compass News portal also offers links to a comprehensive list of research tools in economic and community development and links to regional newspapers and recent Southern Growth press announcements. Users can sign up for the Southern Compass via the portal or check the site each week to view the latest edition.
The Southern Growth Idea Bank at www.southernideabank.org is an online compendium of smart ideas, best practices and innovative programs from across the Southern region. The Southern Growth Idea Bank allows users to search for programs by state, by a specific category or by keywords. The Idea Bank includes more than 175 programs covering a broad range of topics, from leadership to foreign relations to emerging industries to career preparation in K-12 and lifelong learning. The program profiles within the Idea Bank cover ideas from academic institutions, businesses, nonprofits, public-private partnerships and governments at the national, regional, state and community levels.
