Writing Studio & Tutoring 

It is recommended that you use the Writing Studio in Room 205 on the second floor of the library before you submit your paper. Their hours are on display outside of the center and on Blackboard under the “Academic Support: Tutorial Services” Community. For more information on tutoring programs, email IASS@desu.edu or follow DSU_IASS on Instagram. 

Some of our databases have a citation link that will cite the article for you. Keep in mind that they may be wrong, so check to make sure it is correct.
