Dear friends, researchers, students of photosynthesis, and members of
International Society of Photosynthesis Research:
We (Larry Orr and Govindjee) desire to serve you better by updating
and enlarging our Web paper on "Photosynthesis and the World Wide
Web".
In 1999, we published the following paper: Orr, L. and Govindjee
(1999) Photosynthesis and the World Wide Web. In: Photosynthesis:
Mechanisms and Effects, Garab, G. (Ed.) Kluwer Academic Publishers,
Dordrecht, Vol. V, pp. 4387-4392
This paper was prepared to help everyone find good stuff on World
Wide Web as related to teaching and research in photosynthesis. It
was presented by Govindjee at the 1998 International Congress of
Photosynthesis Research held in Budapest, Hungary. In addition, both
of us have placed this article on the web pages (see a review**) of
Arizona State University and of University of Illinois. The URLs are:
http://photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn/
And,
http://www.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee/photoweb/
We are planning to revise, expand and update this paper and add a
page where you can find URLs of all the important sites. We plan to
do this work during the months of June,July August. We encourage you
to look at our current web pages
(http://www-new.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee AND,
http://www.photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn) and the article itself
(see URLs given above). We request you to then send both of us what
you think should be added and where it should be added in our
article. We hope to receive your input by July 15, 2000. Please send
your E-mails to both of us (gov at uiuc.edu; and Larry.Orr at asu.edu ).
Thank you very much for your help. Everyone will benefit from your
contribution.
Govindjee (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
and
Larry Orr (Arizona State University, Tempe)
============================
**Review of our site:
Jenni Laidman (1999) writes, on page 5, in "Chemistry" (quarterly
newspaper for American Chemical Society (ACS) members and science
students focussing on the science and the people in
chemistry):"Photosynthesis and the WorldWideWeb"
http://www.life.uiuc.edu/govindjee/photoweb
"Just about everything you need to know about the laboratories of
chemists, physicists, and biologists working to determine how plants
convert light into energy has been gathered on this page. Created by
two of the leaders in the field of photosynthesis, the uni-named
Govindjee, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and
Larry Orr, of the Center for the Study of Early Events of
Photosynthesis at Arizona State University, this web essay with links
can be as much of a primer to the wonders of photosynthesis as it is
a resource to researchers. Organized into sections for group research
sites, individual sites, educational sites, books and journal, and
the grab bag "other", it is hard to find a photosynthesis site they
have missed. While most comprehensive lists of this kind are little
more than hypertext labels, this site has the additional benefit of
providing brief descriptions of what the web surfers will find" ****
****The ACS web site gives a PDF version of the above note. It is at:
http://www.acs.org:80/Chemistry/chemfa99/chemfa99.pdf
and we think the chemfa99 part of the address is what would be used
to reference the newspaper.
