The ‘Top Down Bottom Up’ Bibliography: an aggregated list of useful
sources for those wanting to develop their understanding of Personal
Tutoring and Academic Advising in the UK
The Context
Rob Ward
One outcome of reviewing 41 portfolios over three cohorts was the opportunity it
provided to access the range of resources and reference points which those submitting
portfolios found to be useful in supporting their understanding and subsequent
presentations. As time went on, we made use of these to augment the initial list of
references in the Award Handbook, and a collated list is provided here. Hence the title:
our ‘top down’ starting points extended and enriched by the contributions of Award
participants. Some of these are discipline-centred; others may have a short shelf-life.
We have not included them all - some older newspaper items have been excluded for
example - but we have included the majority where they are on topic and reasonably
readily accessible. Finally, to make finding information found useful by others a little
more straightforward, we have also searched the web for online access and include
these links below where we have been able to locate them. Some will require access
via institutional subscription, and not all of the weblinks will be permanent by any means
but hopefully this will help readers to access the perspectives of others. And while our
list makes no claims to be exhaustive, it does reflect perspectives that a range of
practitioners have found useful. Happy reading!
