First Paragraph
In 1995, the same year that Computers and Composition published a special issue on writing centers, Boise State University’s Writing Center went online. The Center established a web presence, called simply Writing Center Online, which was highlighted by an e-mail consultation service: writers were encouraged to send in drafts by e-mail, and consultants would respond in kind. Many other centers and their staffs were also riding the technology wave, discovering the possibilities offered by computers: Michigan State University (Thomas, Hara, DeVoss 2000), Utah State (Kinkead 1988), and Texas Tech (Brown 2000). Like their counterparts, Boise State’s Writing Center and consultants were primed to step into a new phase of existence, one that would expand the number of visitors to the Center and create exciting new identities for consultants.
