Butler Online Writing Lab (OWL)  

Writing can be hard.  This guide brings together links to helpful information for you to use as you write your papers. 

In the tabs above you'll find links to tips on:

• Beginning your writing (Step #1 Pre-Writing).
• Writing your content (Step #2 Writing).
• Revising and completing your writing (Step #3 Finishing).

If you're assigned a research paper, or if you need to develop citations, there is a tab for this (Research & Citations).  See also the Example APA and Example MLA paper in the tabs above.   

If you are in Comp. I or Comp. II, take a look at the Terms & Definitions tab.

ESL means English as a Second Language.  The ESL tab has links to resources for you if you need extra help with the English language.
