For Ann Marshall and others interested in academic support centers: look in this web site
<http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/winterinstitute/> for some seminal articles on learning support centers. BTW, there is a difference between the published developmental education viewpoint as espoused by Hashaway and others and the learning assistance center concept which considers developmental education as curricular offerings and supports them just like it supports any and all college and university courses. BTW, many tutorial programs are located within learning assistance centers. You might also look at the NTA web site whose URL is on the WI web site in the section on :OTHER PUBLICATIONS/WEB SITE DIRECTORY.
Here are two titles that you will find, among others, not only as citations, but as full text on screen. Their individual page URL's are listed after the article.
