ABSTRACT
Although it was first published nearly 20 years ago, Patricia Sullivan and Rachel Spilka’s “Qualitative Research in Technical Communication: Issues of Value, Identity, and Use” provides few clues of its age. Indeed, other than the opening anecdote about the NeXT Computer (a high-powered multimedia workstation developed by Steve Jobs during his exile from Apple from 1985 to 1997) and the publication years of its references, there is little here to betray its date of composition.
