Murphy and Stay bring together 39 essays by authors who have directed or worked in writing centers across the US, who explore the theory and practice of running such centers. Aimed at writing center professionals, the handbook examines the history of centers; their management, development, and issues; working with school administration; ethics; tutor training; and electronic instruction. The book concludes with four case studies. Other important topics explored are racial diversity, multicampus settings, small and community colleges, graduate students, remedial/developmental learning contexts, core writing, and plagiarism.

The Writing Center Director's Resource Book has been developed to serve as a guide to writing center professionals in carrying out their various roles, duties, and responsibilities. It is a resource for those whose jobs not only encompass a wide range of tasks but also require a broad knowledge of multiple issues.

The volume provides information on the most significant areas of writing center work that writing center professionals--both new and seasoned--are likely to encounter. It is structured for use in diverse institutional settings, providing both current knowledge as well as case studies of specific settings that represent the types of challenges and possible outcomes writing center professionals may experience. This blend of theory with actual practice provides a multi-dimensional view of writing center work.


In the end, this book serves not only as a resource but also as a guide to future directions for the writing center, which will continue to evolve in response to a myriad of new challenges that will lie ahead.


Offers practical, real-world content on writing centers and explores issues encountered by writing center directors at micro/macro levels. For writing center directors/writing faculty.
