Resources for Academic and Professional 
Writing & Research
❦


Picture
The Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab) is an amazing resource for everything from properly citing a source to writing a business letter to approaching academic essays for different disciplines (Writing About Literature, Writing in the Social Sciences, Writing an Abstract, etc.). This is a site that you'll want to keep track of when you get to college.

Need a quick reminder on which there/their/they're to use? Not sure if you should use "affect" or "effect"? Do apostrophes just look like floating commas to you? Ask Grammar Girl! This site has a searchable database of articles addressing the most common grammar and usage kerfuffles, and each article breaks down the issue in a very easy-to-understand manner.

The Online Resources Catalog on the South Dakota State Library website is your portal to thousands upon thousands of articles from periodicals and scholarly journals on almost every imaginable subject. While there are a number of specialized databases available in this catalog, the SIRS Issues Researcher and EBSCO Host might be your best starting points for general research on academic or debate topics.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
