site (http://www.nature.nps.gov/) and natural resource Intranets, including Inside Natural Resources (www1.nrintra.nps.gov)
and the NRSS portion of InsideNPS, allowing the Natural Resource Program Center to remain on the cutting edge of Internet
and web technologies, and facilitating their ability to provide information to the parks and the public.
CSU provides expertise in Internet technologies, including Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), JavaScript, Cold Fusion,
Flash, and other web production techniques. Expertise will also be provided in desktop publishing and graphics design skills,
including the ability to manipulate graphics with professional graphics software to produce professional quality materials.
