Abstract
This paper reports on an approach to make student-acquired spectral data available via a Web browser. Students in organic chemistry save their IR and NMR spectra as JCAMP files in folders accessible to a Web server. The directory listing of spectra is converted into a Web page using PHP. The spectra are displayed and printed using a Java applet. This approach allows instrument time to be dedicated to acquisition of spectra rather than time-consuming integration and printing. Students have found this to be useful; this approach is transferable to other courses and other institutions.
Supplement
A number of files for making student-acquired spectra accessible to students via the Web are available.
