Re: OWL resources

[Muriel Harris <harrism@omni.cc.purdue.edu>]

Hi, Eric,we've been far from e-mail for a long time, trekking through
the glories of the Pacific Northwest (and overdosing on fresh salmon
and great espresso), so I'm responding long after your note about OWL
resources. You might want to add the ACE newsletter issue on OWLS, and
Stuart Blythe and I just completed an essay on our experiences (and
mistakes and growing insights, etc.) in developing our OWL. If all
goes well, it will appear in Carol Haviland's collection on writing
center collaboration. I'd also strongly recommend Stuart Blythe's
dissertation which is fast nearing completion as he focuses on OWLS
and technology. Stuart...care to add a title here...and a more
coherent description?
