Note: NSDL Community site registration (and Annual Meeting registration) is not integrated with other NSDL services using NSDL login (e.g. Expert Voices blogs, or NSDL wiki systems). Please complete the Community Network site registration process as detailed below.

Registering for the Site

Users can still view content if they are not yet approved as a member of the site. Registration allows users to post content on the website such as project updates, posters and to participate in community discussion forums.

To register:

  1. Click on "Login/Register" below the main menu (in the blue bar), upper right
  2. Click on "Create a New Account"
  3. Enter your email address for you username (Email addresses are solely for login and will not be shared).
  4. Continue to fill out the form and answer the questions related to the Annual Meeting. If you are requesting travel support, be sure to mark that on your form. If you are not attending the meeting, answer "No" to the first question and go to Step 5.
  5. Fill out your personal and professional information
  6. Click on "Create New Account"
  7. You will receive an email confirming your registration within 2 hours.  If you do not get an email notification in this time, please contact us to finish processing your registration.

NOTE:  Registration for the Community Site and for the Annual Meeting must be approved by administrators before access is granted.   Community Site accounts created during business hours (8:00 am - 5:00 pm Mountain Time) can expect timely approval.  Accounts created during non-business hours (evenings and weekends) can expect approval within 1-2 business days after.   Once approved, you will receive an email confirming your registration, allowing you to login as a member.
