Writing Resources
The following guidelines are specifically written and developed by Marietta College professors for the benefit of student writers in their courses.
General Writing Information
The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University houses writing resources and instructional material. Students, members of the community, and users worldwide will find information to assist with many writing projects. Teachers and trainers may use this material for in-class and out-of-class instruction.

Reference and Style Manuals
The following links to reference and style manuals are intended to help you: locate words quickly; find information on properly citing references for your writing assignments; and gather some helpful tips on formatting your papers. Before checking out these links on your own, please be sure that you know which method of documentation (i.e., APA, MLA, Chicago) your professor requires.
As always, if you need help checking citations and compiling bibliographies, come see us at the Campus Writing Center.
