<h2><strong> TAPoR Redesign </strong></h2>
<div>We have recently redesigned TAPoR in order to integrate the DiRT (Digital Research Tools) Directory. The integration was managed by Kaitlyn Grant with help from Quinn Dombrowski and programming by&nbsp;Omar Rodriquez-Arenas.&nbsp;</div>
<h5>&nbsp;</h5>
<div>
<h2><strong>TaDiRAH Taxonomy</strong></h2>
<p>With the integration of DiRT Directory, TAPoR has made use of the TaDiRAH Goals &amp; Methods tags, to better cateogrize the tools.&nbsp;</p>
