Published for the Conference on College Composition and Communication, this 1990 volume lists and annotates 1,849 articles, books, dissertations, and papers. A group of 136 contributing bibliographers prepared the citations and annotations for all entries. The volume includes an index of authors and editors and cross-references entries according to subject matter.

Entries appear under five major categories: bibliographies and checklists; theory and research; teacher education, administration, and social roles; curriculum; and testing, measurement, and evaluation.
