Useful resources needed for sharing with SIG members
One of the most valuable things about SIG membership is the chance to learn from fellow members. An easy but very useful way for everyone to contribute to our pool of knowledge is to forward the name of a publishing resource that you use and would recommend.
We’d like for each SIG member to forward at least one useful resource to be added to the Professional Tools section of our Web site ( http://www.uvm.edu/extension/acepubsig/ ). The categories include Listservs, Style manuals or other references, Professional organizations, Recommended vendors, and Publications-related job descriptions.
To submit a recommended resource, take a look at each of the Professional Tools pages on our Web site, decide what resource you would suggest be added, and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the particular page for the Professional Tool you will submit.
***** Please send your resource recommendation by Oct. 15. We’ll try to have them all posted soon afterward. Thanks again!
