Introduction & Reference Databases - ENG300 - Stories of Literature

Welcome!

Welcome to the ENG300 OWHL Guide! This Guide has been created to support research for the Social Awareness and Action Project. On each tab, there are links to help you find the different types of sources you will need to create your annotated glossary bibliography. Please read each of the box descriptions, as they will guide you on how to cite what you use from within each box and on each page. If you have any questions, and for immediate assistance, feel free to chat with a librarian on OWHL Answers, below, during library hours. Or you may email me, Mrs. Tompkins (etompkins@andover.edu).
