Click on the "talk" tab/link above to discuss our plans.

Please read this topic in the Career Development Forums discussion board about proposed "Wikipedia CD co-editors' tasks". Some of these tasks apply to what we will be doing here.

Also, it might be useful to review    this list of other WP articles about professional associations and select some that offer good templates to use for our article. Once we are happy with this draft, I will copy it in to a "live" article.

DRAFT of ACSCI article below

Since 1978, the Association of Computer-based Systems               for Career Information (ACSCI), has been dedicated to the advancement                of career information and its delivery. Today, the Association continues               to work to promote the use and improvement of career information,                information technology, and services through standards, professional                development opportunities, and public information.

With the rapid expansion of the availability of career               information and services, the need for well-documented, detailed                industry standards of quality is more apparent than ever before. ACSCI standards provide a framework for organization and individual               to reference in order to promote the delivery of the highest quality                career information and services.

ACSCI provides leadership that strengthens national,               state, and local systems in development, delivery, and utilization                of computer-based information and related career development services                by:

• Establishing, maintaining,               and promoting standards for quality in the development, delivery,                and utilization of computer-based career information and related                career development services.

• Identifying, collecting, and disseminating a base of knowledge               regarding the development, delivery, and utilization of computer-based                career information and related career development services.

• Providing association members in-service training opportunities,               technical assistance, and other professional services regarding                the development, delivery, and utilization of computer-based career                information and related career development services.

• Providing professionals, organizations, and agencies with               information and assistance regarding utilization of computer-based                career information and related career development services.

• Providing a public forum to discuss and promote the formation               of public policy regarding quality in development, delivery, and                utilization of computer-based career information and related career                development services.
