New Resources for P&P Professionals

By Linda Kenny Sloan - P&P SIG Information and Research Team

The P&P SIG’s Information and Research team announces the public availability of abstracts and links to P&P articles published by STC.

The subject listing can be found in the Resource section of the P&P SIG’s web site at http://www.stcsig.org/pp/.

Both Intercom and STC conference proceedings articles are included and range from 1993 to present.

The Information and Research team consists of Linda Kenny Sloan and Maria I. Christophel. Maria researched and prepared the abstract writing for this project. As a retiree from P&P work, Maria has both the expertise and time to devote to this project. Linda provided document management expertise to the effort.

The topics included are:
    Annual meeting agenda and minutes
    Career opportunities
    International profession
    Methods and models
    Tools and techniques
    Trends and the future
    Writing and editing.

These cover material not only for novices but also for those who wish to increase their expertise in this discipline. This new tool is an addition to the already public newsletter archive available on the SIG’s web site.

SIG manager and P&P guru Raymond Urgo declares this new offering an important and unique resource. “It is the world’s only comprehensive collection of summaries to P&P resources.”

Future plans for the Information and Research team include a newsletter index, a listing of non-STC publications, and the monitoring of the Intercom and STC Proceedings for adding abstracts on a continued basis.
