I am pleased to announce that several new publications are available on the WAC Clearinghouse (http://wac.colostate.edu).

Across the Disciplines (http://wac.colostate.edu/atd/) announces its second volume. New work includes a new column on secondary education and writing centers/WAC by Pamela Childers and articles by Jonathan Hall, Robert Samuels, Jessica Yood, Linda Anstendig, Eugene Richie, Shannon Young, Pauline Mosley and Bette Kirschstein. New articles and materials will be added to the volume as the year progresses.

Janice Lauer's book, Invention in Rhetoric and Composition, is now available in PDF format for free download from the WAC Clearinghouse at http://wac.colostate.edu/books/lauer_invention/. Published jointly with Parlor Press, which offers the book in print-on-demand and various digital formats, Lauer's book is the first in the series, Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition, which is edited by Charles Bazerman. New volumes are forthcoming in the series and will be announced as they are made available.

Last semester, just before we went public with the Writing Studio (http://writing.colostate.edu/studio), I put together a (very) simple Blogging tool for the Studio. Basically, it allows writers to create a Blog, share it with one or more Studio-supported class pages, and/or share it with the world through the Writing@CSU Writing Gallery. They can also keep it private if they want to.

It occurred to me that some of you might be interested in it. I haven't enabled any RSS feeds (nor would I have the faintest idea of how to do that) or other things, but it does allow writers to create a blog and get replies to entries.

The WAC Clearinghouse has undergone a transformation - and found a new home. The new Clearinghouse, located at http://wac.colostate.edu, provides access to four journals, three book series, and a wide range of resources for writing, speaking and otherwise communicating across the curriculum.
