Luminescence on the Internet

Compiled by J. Stroebel, L. J. Kricka* and P. E. Stanley

This is the first in an occasional survey of Internet sites relating to luminescence. This is just a small selection of available sites and
readers are reminded that web pages are sometimes very temporary in nature. The authors welcome details of additional sites of
interest to the readers of this journal (Please e-mail to STANLEY@LUMIWEB.COM or larry_kricka@path1a.
