Item. Bizzell Library Resources

Thanks to a generous grant from the OU Libraries, starting in Fall 2015 there will be some amazing resources for this class in Bizzell Library! I hope you will enjoy spending some time at the Library in order to make use of these materials, along with some other great Library services such as the new Helmerich Collaborative Learning Center in Lower Level One (video).

Computers: In addition to the desktop computers in the Reference area of the Library, there is a laptop checkout service. So, even if you do not bring a laptop with you, you can still use the online Reading Guides and write up your Reading Diary blog post(s) right there while you are working in the Library.
