  • Writing Centers: An Annotated Bibliography provides the writing center community something invaluable, a sense of place in the lineage of a lasting and important educational project.
    —The Writing Center Journal
Description: With the growing emphasis on collaborative learning and the implementation of new approaches to teaching composition, writing centers have moved to the forefront of American education. Writing centers are found in high schools, community colleges, four-year colleges, and large universities, and thousands of students benefit from them. While writing centers provide students with practical assistance, the centers are firmly grounded in theory. This bibliography overviews the tremendous amount of scholarship on writing centers and provides a useful overview of ninety years of research in the field. The introduction places writing centers within the larger context of writing pedagogy and investigates the paradigms and philosophies reflected in the evolution of writing centers. The bibliographical entries that make up the bulk of the volume are grouped in topical chapters. Each entry includes a citation and a descriptive annotation. Topics covered include the history of writing centers, theoretical and administrative concerns, the relationship of writing centers to literacy education, writing across the curriculum, and the larger discipline of rhetoric and composition.
