their library, where you can search their databases for electronic

Writing is a process, one that includes finding a topic to write on,
brainstorming ideas, organizing thoughts, creating outlines, composing
several drafts, having your peers and tutors help you edit these drafts,
and finalize a finish product.  The faculty encourages every student,
who is writing a paper, to use the Writing Center.  

Here are other writing centers that will give you supplemental support
in grammar, thesis construction, paper development and citation:
