CASLLrs -- Yes, I for one would be glad to see a central repository for reports on writing matters -- having bolstered my own struggle against testing by reading Anthony's excellent (very competent!) piece against tests. Jim Bell's study, once it comes out, will be a welcome addition. (Jim, I'll get back to you on good published pieces on revision when I can get my memory working again and find my files....) Like Marcy, I'd suggest a central set of links -- the CASLL site at York is already a good start, soon to include Henry Hubert's recent study of writing centres across Canada. The post-CCCC hallway discussion about getting writing centre people together was repeated in an interesting participatory session on the last day of the CATTW meeting at the Learneds. So far it has only taken the form of talk--some good individual contacts and more general information about what's happening in writing centres (lots!). What should be the next step? We already have two organizations for writing people. Shall we just keep hijacking conventions and flooding newsletters with pieces on writing centres? (HINT, HINT: such pieces are always welcome for the Inkshed newsletter. Send them to Mary-Louise Craven or me.) I hope we can join together for some research projects (Jim's is an obvious start). Here's something else we might accomplish here and now online. All writing centres are always facing calls to justify themselves. We've had previous CASLL discussions on this. What are the best answers to such calls? My own most useful is that writing centres make faculty jobs easier by helping teach writing outside the classroom. But that one has the disadvantage of seeming to exempt faculty members from ALL responsibility for supporting writing. Is there a better way of putting it? Margaret Procter, University of Toronto.
