CPN Celebrates Second Anniversary
CPN reached its second birthday on the Internet. The site, founded by Matthew Cook on December 3, 1997, was initially developed to assist undergraduates in locating information on this fascinating field. Now, the site has grown considerably and is frequented by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, community leaders, and others. Over the years, new content and features have been added to reflect the evolving landscape of the Internet. Join us in the celebrations!

Community Psychology Network Search Engine
On February 10, the CPN search engine was taken offline due to some technical issues with our new server. We hope that the search functions will be available soon! Please use the site map while the search engine is down.
Community Psychology Network Releases New Look!
On February 1, 1999, the Community Psychology Network released its new site navigation scheme and themed campus areas. After a little over a year on the Internet and feedback from site surfers, Matthew J. Cook, Community Psychology Network’s creator, decided to redesign the website and enhance it. The new look and infrastructure are organized like a college campus, a familiar institution and medium for many students, researchers, and professors. The site also includes several new areas including the Computer Lab, and the Library.
The Community Psychology Network has received over twenty-five awards from the Internet and academic community. Most notably, the awards include the Digital Librarians award for the month of August, 1998, from Argus Clearinghouse, the gold award from Medsite, 3 out of 4 stars from the Mental Health Network, and the Healthlinks Select site award. If you are interested in seeing some of the other honors bestowed on CPN, we are proud to show them to you. CPN also awards several honors to excellent psychological Internet resources and websites on the world wide web. If you have a website that you feel is a great resource, submit it to the CPN awards committee for review.
