The Learning Assistance Review (TLAR), the national peer reviewed
official publication of the National College Learning Center Association
(NCLCA), is also always looking for good research on this--and
other--topics such as the reading research question just posted. If you
have such research in the works, please do not hesitate to submit a
manuscript for review.
TLAR publishes scholarly articles and reviews that address issues of
interest to learning center professionals (including administrators,
teaching staff, faculty and tutors) who are interested in improving the
learning skills of postsecondary students.
Primary consideration will be given to articles about program design
and evaluation, classroom-based research, the application of theory and
research to practice, innovative teaching and tutoring strategies,
student assessment, and other topics that bridge gaps within our diverse
profession.
TLAR will accept manuscripts following all four of the article types
outlined in the American Psychological Association Manual: empirical
study, and articles on review, theory, and methodology. Follow APA
manual (chapter 1.4) for specific requirements and structure for each
type.
Regardless, all manuscripts need a clear focus that draws a correlation
between the study, review, theory, or methodology and learning
assistance practices.
Electronic Submission packets must include:
* The original manuscript with the following:
o The Title page must include the title of the manuscript (not to
exceed 12 words); the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of all
authors.
o In addition, the manuscript must include an abstract of the
manuscript, maximum 100 words
* A masked manuscript for review.
* The lead author should also provide work and home addresses,
telephone numbers, fax, and e-mail information. All correspondence will
be with the lead author, who is responsible for all communication with
any additional author(s).
* Figures and tables must be black and white, camera ready,
according to APA style

Subject: Data on focus on reading across disciplines
Greetings,
We are looking for research that shows how improving reading affects
success in college courses. We're also exploring pre and post assessment
methods for measuring reading improvement in various disciplines.It
seems
logical that improving reading skills leads to chances of higher success
in other courses, but we need data to support that philosophy for our
Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for SAC's review. We would appreciate any
info or direction you can offer. Please contact me through the list or
at

Thank you,
Sheila Olmstead
