Welcome to the new USTLG website

Welcome to the new USTLG website. Our previous website was held by Leeds University and I would like to thank Sara Thornes and colleagues for all their hard work in setting up and maintaining the website. Unfortunately the time has come when we have had to find a new home. This website is a temporary home for the USTLG until Spring 2012.

Having a new website provides a great opportunity to think about the content and layout of our website. Therefore we would really appreciate your comments and feedback on what you would like to see on a website for the USTLG. Please email Lynne Meehan or leave a comment here. Also, if you would like to be involved with the set up of the new website please email Lynne Meehan
