When it comes to information and communications technology (ICT) manuals and publications, BICSI is a seasoned industry leader.

This distinction was further confirmed recently with BICSI's ICT Installation Practices Field Guide, Volume 1 - General Cabling, 2nd edition, winning the coveted Award of Merit at the 2024 STC Alliance Competition. The Society for Technical Communication Alliance, which is led by a consortium of like-minded chapters around the United States, was recognized by its judges to meet high standards among technology and communications publications for this competition.

The criteria for the Award of Merit states that the material “consistently meets high standards in most areas.

The ICT Installation Practices Field Guide, Volume 1 - General Cabling, 2nd edition, serves as a field source for both copper and optical fiber cable general installation applications.

If you're an ICT installer or technician who uses one or more of the three BICSI Installation Practices Field Guides, you clearly know the value of these guides. These pocket-sized, spiralbound booklets, released in July 2023, feature must-have information and handy references for ICT professionals at any work site.

In 2022, BICSI's Information Technology Systems Installation Methods Manual (ITSIMM), 8th edition also won the STC Alliance Competition Award of Merit. That same year, BICSI's Cabling Installation Training Program, V8, was also honored, marking a first for a BICSI training curriculum.
