Rhetoric and Composition

Published for the Conference on College Composition and Communication, this bibliography provides an annual listing of scholarship on written English and teaching at the college level. Entries appear under six major categories:

• Bibliographies and Checklists
• Theory and Research
• Teacher Education, Administration, and Social Roles
• Curriculum
• Testing, Measurement, and Evaluation
• Listservs, Electronic Resources, and WWW Sites

This volume lists and annotates nearly two thousand articles, books, dissertations, and papers that, with few exceptions, appeared in 1995. It includes an index of authors and editors, a subject index, and entries cross-referenced according to subject matter.

As usual, the CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric draws on a large group of experts in the field. Annotations—which accompany every entry in this volume—describe a publication's contents and are intended to help users determine the entry's usefulness. Annotations are brief and are not meant to be descriptive or evaluative: they explain what an entry is about but leave readers free to judge for themselves the workıs merits.

Some of the main topics are self-explanatory, while others require some explanation. "Bibliographies and Checklists" are clear enough, but "Theory and Research" may not be. These entries discuss concepts or hypotheses, explain how people learn, describe fields or methodologies, examine historical developments, review previous explanations of a subject, or advance conclusions drawn from empirical evidence. "Teacher Education, Administration, and Social Roles" obviously covers the education of teachers and administrative and personnel policies; this topic also deals with services supporting classroom instruction and relations between educational institutions and the larger society. "Listservs, Electronic Resources, and WWW Sites" deals with the Internet's electronic discussion groups interested in theory and practice in composition and rhetoric.

Gail Stygall is the director of the Expository Writing Program and an associate professor of English at the University of Washington. Kathy Murphy teaches at Edmonds Community College in Washington.
