New Website and Refurbished Research Library Database at
www.nwpotatoresearch.com
Since 2012 the Washington, Idaho, and Oregon potato commissions have cooperated in research
funding and management, and have called this cooperative venture the Northwest Potato Research
Consortium. The Consortium has been represented on the Web by
www.nwpotatoresearch.com, which
included the ‘research library’ developed by the WSPC in the 2000s. Recently, a long-awaited
redesign and reprogramming of the website was completed and is now live online.
For those of you with research library passwords, your old login will work on the new site.
For those without a login and password, there is a user-friendly means to request a password.
I encourage everyone to have a look, and of course offer feedback anytime!
Andy Jensen, Consortium Manager.
