 * [good but interpretation of details about key words ... what topics are published about]**

Note: In searching for issues of Technical Communication, the Joyner Library online site was unfortunately not the best source. The library did not provide a clear listing of each issue and the individual articles. Instead, there were an enormous amount of citations, perhaps representing bibliographic references or double listing articles. Going straight to the STC website was a much better solution: [|http://www.stc.org]. If you go to the website, all the issues are listed there, and you can access abstracts of each article in each issue.
