Talk to Me: The Evolution of InTech

Summary

InTech, in its evolving formats, has been ISA’s flagship publication for more than 70 years. Last year in this same space, I let you know about our move to all-digital distribution, and about how to subscribe to the InTech Plus newsletters.

This year I have exciting news about access to InTech magazine issues, past and ongoing, and about the range of other ISA resources designed to keep automation professionals well-informed about our fastmoving, quickly evolving industry.

New landing pages for InTech digital magazine articles and ISA-related news have been set up on Automation.com, ISA’s news and publications subsidiary. You can find and download InTech issues through the new InTech Channel on Automation.com. You can also find additional features, ISA news and links to ISA Interchange and ISAGCA blogs through the new ISA News channel.

To have InTech articles and ISA news delivered to your inbox, subscribe to the bimonthly InTech Plus newsletter. Through that link, you can also sign up for other newsletters. Automation.com’s newsletters curate the top website posts each week into a variety of topical and general-interest periodicals. Automation Insights and InTech Plus are general interest newsletters; topic-specific newsletters include a new one on Industrial Sustainability, Cybersecurity & Connectivity, Factory Automation & Control, Industry 4.0 & Smart Manufacturing and Process Automation & Control.

For issue archives and much more, ISA members get access to PubHub, the ISA content portal that contains issues of InTech magazine going back to 2010. It also contains years of other ISA technical content including ISA standards and technical reports, InTech FOCUS digital magazines, AUTOMATION 2024 ebooks and select ISA book chapters, webinars and training modules.

Automation.com has a wealth of industry news, new product information and other resources that will keep you in-the-know and up-to-date on what’s happening in industrial automation. Remember that any automation professional is welcome to send content for consideration: news on themselves, news from their companies, or queries about contributing articles. Send to [email protected] with “ISA Member News” in the subject line.

Let me know what you are using to keep up with our industry in addition to InTech and Automation.com. Best wishes for a happy new year.
