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.
