The Council of Writing Program Administrators thanks Richard Haswell of Texas A & M University Corpus Christi (retired) and Glenn Blalock of Baylor University for the contributions they have made and continue to make to the development and circulation of knowledge in areas related to the intellectual work of writing program administrators by developing the CompPile bibliographic database (http://comppile.tamucc.edu/) and CompFAQs wiki (http://comppile.tamucc.edu/).

Exciting new features @ CompPile:

1--Follow the new link from the front page--"New / Recent Books"--leading to a list of new and recent scholarly books (listed by publisher or by author).

To see the possibilities, click on the first title in the Erlbaum list, Bazerman's _Handbook of writing research_. You'll see a link to the book's website, the publisher's brief description of the book, a "list" of current "CompReviews" for the book (1, for now), and a form that invites you to submit your own review, summary, synopsis, or commentary, about the book or about parts of it.

2--Reviews? Yes. For each new / recent book, you can submit a review and read reviews submitted by colleagues. You can access this review feature from CompPile's home page, too, following the "Reviews @ CompPile" link. The "Reviews" space is our response to the July conversation on WPA-L about reviews / reviewing.
