description A major challenge confronting psychologists is finding relevant professional development experiences. An Internet-based professional community is one approach to meeting this challenge. The authors investigated the development of such a professional community among school psychologists. Results from behavioral measures and questionnaires reflected a moderate to strong sense of community among the participants. The single best predictor of sense of community was the participants' perceptions that the Internet site enhanced their professional development. On-line participation and social support also related to sense of community. Results suggest that the Internet is a promising medium for the development of professional communities.
