Hello all,

As one or two of you may have noticed we've been continuing the ongoing push to improve the documentation in the centre, the latest step of which is a workflow document that will hopefully ease the passage of all projects here at YNiC. This is essentially a route finder to what we think will be the most relevant help and assistance you need depending on the stage of your project, along with any vital information for the work you are currently doing. It includes sections from the first approach an investigator might make to the centre, through to writing up your study. Some sections are more verbose than others, but we hope we've got the balance right between the information you need (and where to get more details), and a easily digestible amount of information at any one time.

At present there are a few paper handouts on the long benches in Open Plan. If they disappear we'll take that as a good sign and make arrangements for a more permanent supply, otherwise this documentation, along with updated induction and safety guides, can be found on the website at:

https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/guides/

Here you'll find both web-based and downloadable pdf versions available.

As ever, we hope we've covered the key points, but welcome any and all suggestions for improvements. Please send your comments to:

support@ynic.york.ac.uk

Although we hope to have stable versions as soon as possible, if you're looking at paper or pdf versions you've downloaded, it's always a good idea to check you have the most recent version (as indicated in the top left hand corner date stamp).

Thanks,

Sam
