Writing Resources Center @ Swem Opens for fall
The Writing Resources Center is going to continue offering its services at Swem Library on Sunday afternoons. The WRC@Swem will open on September 17th for fall 2006.
Writing assistance is available from 2-5 pm each Sunday throughout the semester. You may drop-in or sign-up during those hours for a one-on-one session with a writing consultant. The sign-up sheet will be posted on the door of the center which is located in the group study room behind the reference desk on the first floor.
And here’s a link to some electronic writing resources (dictionaries, grammars, style manuals, etc) selected by Swem librarians.
