What's New on the ISEP Archive

28 August 1999

• ISEP Newsletter 8 is now available in PDF and HTML formats. The Newsletter includes information on the upcoming ISEP XIII meeting and much other good stuff.

21 August 1999

• An attempt is now being made to keep ISEP members and friends advised on policy and funding matters relevant to evolutionary studies on protists and other organisms. See the new "News" header on the ISEP home page and the "policy statements" section of the Money Hunt page. These items are mostly from the US, reflecting those sources known to the Webmaster. Members and friends are requested to send information on items they find to the Webmaster for possible inclusion on this site.
• Work continues on the Upcoming Meetings and Money Hunt pages. Again, members and friends, please tell the Webmaster about other events, especially those outside North America.
• The "Resources for Evolutionary Studies" page has been disabled pending complete reorganization. A companion page, "Resources for Taxonomic and Nomenclatural Studies" is being designed and, if it is the will of Allah :), both pages will be implemented when complete.

• The Upcoming Meetings page has been partially restored. A fuller version, intended to represent, as much as possible, a "one-stop shopping" site for meetings relevant to studies of protist systematic and evolutionary biology is in the works.
• A link has been made to the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Web page. Currently the International Journal of Systematic Biology, the journal will adopt the new name in Y2K and will expand its scope to include protists.

31 July 1999

• After a hiatus, the Money Hunt page has been returned, with updated links.

29 September 1998

• The new ISEP Officers have been listed.

• Over the past few weeks, various new and upgraded links to the Upcoming Meetings and Protist Databases and Newsgroups have been added. In particular, the section Protist Societies and Journals section now includes hypertext links to the Web pages of those scientific journals associated with protistology that have Web pages - at least those that I've been able to find.

26 March 1996

• Hypertext links to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature Web page, and to Charley O'Kelly's home page.

• New NSF Bulletin linked (Money Hunt page).

10 March 1996

• This "What's New" page appears for the first time.

• The ISEP home page is redesigned, principally to add "keywords" for the benefit of Internet search tools.

• A new page, "Resources for Evolutionary Studies" is added. The page consists primarily of two major compilations, one from the WWW Virtual Library and one from the Organelle Genome Megasequencing Project WWW page. I have added an additional resource not found in either of the above. Info on additional sources welcome!

• Hypertext links to WWW pages (when available) and email addresses of ISEP Officers (ISEP Directory page) have been completed. Just in time for elections ...
