44.1 Glossaries for Abbreviations

If you are writing a long report or Web site that uses abbreviations and acronyms, compile a glossary for your abbreviations and acronyms. The glossary will be particularly useful in Web sites, where your readers will not be perusing the contents in a predictable way.

On the Web you can find many glossaries for abbreviations that are both general and specific to certain fields. These are tremendously useful when you are starting a new job. See Web Destinations for examples.
