First Paragraph
Many writing centers have established complex web sites with elaborate “pages” requiring the support of special computer systems and technically skilled staff. Creation of such online labs may appear too costly and involved for smaller writing centers on tight budgets, an apprehension not fully justified. Simple electronic mail, designed for home use, is inexpensive and needs little equipment and support, and offers the small center a feasible way to expand services. The only requirements to support electronic mail are a personal computer system, a modem, and a subscription to an on-line service that provides unlimited access for a few dollars a month.
