Hi Julia and everyone -
I have a nearly complete set of the STC publications Technical
Communication (quarterly journal) and Intercom (monthly magazine) from
about 1996-2005, free to a good home. Or even a suss, seedy home. I need
to lighten my bookshelves.
If no-one is interested they'll go in the recycling, but that would be a
shame. There's some good stuff in here, at least from a historical angle.
If you are interested at all, let me know where you are and we can
figure out how to get them to you.
Stuart
ps. If this offer rings a bell, an ATWer agreed to take them last year
but then retired and decided he needed the shelf space for other things.

There is one issue that you raised that I would like to comment on, although it is not related to
training. You mentioned that we could link to " all the various magazines published by the TW
world annually". I do think that it is unfortunate that there are very few academic technical
communications publications that are easy for the non-academic to access. I am not a member of the
ASTC at present for some of the reasons Swapnil has raised (I do belong to TCANZ), but I would
consider joining the ASTC if they were able to come to some arrangement with the STC to make their
academic journal "Technical Communication" available to members. I have thought about
joining the STC to get access to this, but I would be paying a lot for all the other STC services
(meetings, conferences etc) that I'm not able to take advantage of here. You can subscribe to
Technical Communication, but it costs hundreds of dollars, presumably because it is priced for
academic libraries.
