This page is currently under construction. As time permits, we hope to create a list of links to online resources of use to members. If you have a resource you'd like to submit for inclusion on this page, please contact us (see the Contacts link at the top of this page).
Right now, there are two main sections available:
The scientific communication special interest group (SIG) runs an e-mail discussion group that serves as an interactive extension of the Exchange, the newsletter published for the SIG’s members. Like the newsletter, the mailing list is intended specifically for the benefit of STC members who are interested in scientific communication. If you’ve got a question about scientific communication, whether the nitty gritty of editing a journal manuscript or how to find (and keep) a job in scientific communication, drop us a line and we’ll see if we can’t come up with an answer, or at least point you to someone or some place that might have an answer.
Of course, to do that you'll have to sign up first: Take me to the signup page!
An unusually friendly community of more than 1500 professional editors from around the world, always willing to answer even the most obscure question related to editing.
A community of more than 5000 technical writers from around the world, representing a tremendous source of knowledge on all aspects of technical communication (tools, strategies, employment). Also, a growing collection of free online articles on a wide range of issues related to technical communication.
The Council of Science Editors, formerly know as the Council of Biology Editors, has an online job bank that could prove helpful if you're looking for work. Take me to the job bank!
New Scientist, the U.K.'s equivalent of Scientific American, offers a large online career resource. Although mainly destined for researchers, you may occasionally find a communication-related posting, and it's worth noting that anyone who is hiring researchers may be in need of skilled communicators too.

Science Magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, offers a large online career resource. Although mainly destined for researchers, you may occasionally find a communication-related posting, and it's worth noting that anyone who is hiring researchers may be in need of skilled communicators too.
