This is kind of like a start of a NACHI Technical Links page, that I think the Education Committee should eventually develop.
Right now online education is the priority, but I would like to develop a Technical Links and Research section as a long range plan. Organized by major topic/system, and then possibly sub-systems. Then if someone has a question they can research that topic with the technical links ... or it could be linked to answer a question on the BB. Just an idea ... and could members please post any good technical links related to this first "beta" links listing by posting it here (and I will keep updating the topic for additional good links) ... |
