TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Subject:Re. The value of tech. communicators From:Geoff Hart <geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> Date:Tue, 30 May 1995 11:13:45 LCL
Rose Norman asked if there's any published information on the value of
technical communicators. The 1st quarter 1995 issue of _Technical
Communication_ contains a special section with 8 papers on
specifically this topic. (This is part of a larger study funded by and
available from STC. You can get details from Janice Redish and Judith
Ramey, who developed and carried out the study.)
You can reach Janice at redish -at- quark -dot- umd -dot- edu and Judith at
jramey -at- u -dot- washington -dot- edu (addresses from the membership directory, so
if they don't work...) Both should be able to provide numerous
references beyond these.
