- More and more, professional communication takes place online. Several web sites give librarians insight into writing for the web. Among these, take a look at Spinster's Guide to Writing for the Web and Mark Stover's The Librarian as Publisher.

After perusing Inkspot, check out About.com's Writers' Exchange and the official misc.writing web site
