[Taxacom] MSc taxonomy

[Isa Vandevelde]

Dear all,

For the EDIT catalogue on taxonomic training resources please use the 
following URL:
http://e-taxonomy.eu/trainingresources

With the restructuring of the EDIT website, we are still transferring 
the catalogue data to the new system and the URL cited below does not 
yet contain all data.

Cheers,
Isa
