TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've used the term to request particular pages from a manufacturer's
catalog. For example, a manufacturer of doors might have a catalog of a
hundred or more. I might request the specific pages for the ones I was
considering using. I'd request the "tear sheets" for products x, y, and z.
