Abstract
Write, Research, Revise (WRR) is a partnership between the Library and the Russell E. Horn Learning Center at Penn State Harrisburg, a campus of The Pennsylvania State University serving approximately 5,000 graduate and undergraduate students. This program provides two-on-one appointments, combining research and writing help for students in freshman-level, introductory writing courses. During WRR, participants have a scheduled appointment with a librarian and a writing tutor to comprehensively workshop nearly-completed research papers. At the appointment, students receive feedback and strategies to improve both the writing and research components of their assignments. Participating students and course faculty responded positively to the program. None of the participants previously utilized individual research assistance from campus librarians, and they indicated a greater willingness to seek help from the library in the future.

Summary
Collaboration between libraries and writing programs/centers is common on college campuses (Baer, 2016). In seeking new opportunities to collaborate between these related units at Penn State Harrisburg, a suburban college campus serving 5,000 students, many approaches were explored. A unique course-related, appointment-driven program called Write, Research, Revise (WRR) emerged as a partnership between the Harrisburg. This journal is published by the University Library System of the University of Pittsburgh as part of its D-Scribe Digital Publishing Program and is cosponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Press. This paper will examine the types of collaborations frequently represented in the literature, explain the rationale and procedure for creating WRR, and identify areas for additional research in the area of library and writing center collaborations
