History

In 1989, an annotated bibliography of tutor training materials was published by the Midwest College Learning Center Association. In 1996, Suzanne M. Swiderski and Lisa Godde Kerr published an extension of the earlier bibliography entitled: Tutor Training: An Annotated Bibliography of Theories, Principles, and Practices from 1989-1996. The "purpose is to  provide a listing and description of sources focusing on the topic of tutor training for practicing college- and university-level professionals in the fields of learning assistance and developmental education." Readily available English works addressing the issues of selection, preparation and evaluation of tutors are included. Contributing bibliographers include Bob Carlson, Lisa Godde Kerr, Michelle Miessen, Robin Remich, and Suzanne M. Swiderski. There are 39 pages of entries.

An edition of the tutoring bibliography was published in 2001, edited by Jackie Robertson and Karla Sanders. The bibliography was distributed to the membership.
