Libraries' Reusable Boxes: Writing & Citing

The UIW Writing and Learning Center in the SEC assists undergraduate students with writing assignments at any stage in the writing process. Students may walk-into the WLC or make an appointment with a tutor. During mid-terms and finals, appointments are encouraged.

Quick tips:

• Keep track of your sources - use good notes or a citation manager
• Ask your instructor, a librarian, or the writing center for help
• Don't procrastinate - research takes time
• When in doubt, cite

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management tool that will help you…

• Organize your citations for articles, books, and other material
• Format bibliographies in styles including MLA, APA, and others
• Share your collection with others
• Access information from any Internet-connected computer

Office of Research & Graduate Studies supports graduate & professional students' writing development through personal assistance and presentations. Please access their website for information about how to set consultation appointments.
