Centers for Learning: Writing Centers and Academic Libraries in Collaboration
Publications in Librarianship no. 58

James K. Elmborg and Sheril Hook

Centers for Learning examines the potentials inherent in partnerships between libraries and writing centers. By focusing on shared concepts and practices, the editors suggest that such partnerships might respond more coherently to the needs of today's students. Case studies highlighting the possibilities of collaborations form the body of the book. A conclusion reflects on the implications of these case studies from a writing center perspective.
