Organizational Memory Bibliography  

Information technology has enabled organizations to generate and retain mountains of information. Unfortunately, many organizations suffer from 'infoglut.' They have the information they need, but they don't know they have it. Or, knowing they have it, they can't find it. We would like to find ways that information technology can support business processes, but to do this we need to understand how and where information might be of use within organizations.

Selected Bibliography for Technical Communication Professionals: Gender, Communication Strategies, and Audience Analysis  

Effective technical communication relies on an analysis of the intended audience. If such an analysis includes the demographics of an audience, it is often primarily concerned with the level of the readers’ knowledge or how much the readers need to know in order to complete a task. Rarely is the gender of the audience taken into consideration, ignoring several decades of research on the different communication styles used and preferred by women and men. When gender is considered, writers often rely on prescriptive guidelines to avoid sexist language or, more positively, to use inclusive language to eliminate bias from their writing.

Teaching Revision of Technical Documents in the Computer-Assisted Writing Classroom: Exercises, Research, and a Selectively Annotated Bibliography  

Reviews of the literature have shown that academics and practicing editors and writers differ in their view of the editing and revision processes; furthermore, research (in progress) suggests that authors of technical writing texts have been slow to incorporate a process model of writing and revision into their texts, especially a model making full use of advances in computer-assisted writing. This demonstration is an attempt to improve teachers’ and trainers’ abilities to teach revision in a computer-assisted writing environment.
