IPM World Textbook Update

Our long-term goal is to create an electronic resource for communicating information on integrated pest management that is truly international in scope and multidisciplinary in content. That concept is becoming reality thanks to the tremendous support of colleagues and friends. Our present content is largely the contributions of North American entomologists. Please help us expand this coverage!

To date, we've posted more than 70 contributed chapters, most in both English and Spanish, to our IPM textbook on World Wide Web on the server. Bill Hutchison , Rafael Cancelado and I, co-editors of this textbook, are tremendously pleased with the quality of the chapters we've received and we eagerly await those invited but still in preparation. We welcome suggestions for additional contributors or topics and strongly encourage unsolicited submission of chapters. Be assured, you don't need an invitation!

Contributors Invited:

Share your expertise.  We invite contributions to this textbook.  From our experience to date, we have some suggestions for contributors. Try to limit your text to 5,000 words. Use color photographs (we can scan slides or prints), but be sure that the pictures are very sharp. If you send images as electronic files make them large, we can reduce them to the desired size. For most articles, we prefer that the number of pictures not exceed 7 to 10 because loading images over a modem can take a long time. Do not include copyrighted material, unless you can provide written permission for us to post it on the WWW. Tabular material can present problems for some viewers. If your graphics were computer generated please send us copies of the files these can usually be converted to a format that can be posted on the web. We use Word for Windows XP so text files created in Word or WordPerfect are generally the easiest for us to work with since the formatting, e.g., italics, is retained.
