3. Topic Identified for Possible
PubSIG Professional Development Opportunity
At the PubSIG conference call in February, participants identified editing as a
topic for a professional development workshop in 2008. We discussed possible
topics such as editing for different media, audiences, and reading levels.
This could be a “super workshop” delivered either as a pre-or post-annual
conference workshop or as a stand-alone workshop. Each option would have an
effect on the specific date chosen and the cost involved.
All of this is in the very preliminary planning stage, and WE NEED YOU to do two
things to help us move forward:
(1) Please answer these questions about putting together an editing workshop and
send them to our current chair, Helen White, at
h-white@tamu.edu
(2) We need PubSIG members to serve on a planning/steering committee to explore options, put a plan in place, and get things moving along this spring and summer. Please let Helen know if you can serve.
