Writing Resources
The Writing Project book collection is located in the main study area and in the teaching resource library and conference room in the Center for Teaching and Learning, 102 Kanbar Hall. Faculty members and students are welcome to look at the books and, in most cases, to borrow them if needed.
For a reference on style, you might try Strunk and White's tried and true Elements of Style, on or off-line. For guidance on citation, consult Sources: Their Use and Acknowledgement, published by Dartmouth College.
The Georgetown University Writing Center offers an excellent set of resources for writers of English as a Second Language, and the National Council of Teachers of English website provides "Guidelines for Gender-Fair Use of Language."
