Wrting Studies & Composition--Prof. Bengels

Welcome!

This guide is designed to help you use the Library effectively in order to do the research for your Writing Studies assignments. Your assignment requires using primarily articles, most of which are seamlessly available electronically. This guide will take you step-by-step through the process of using the library system to locate articles.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. You can always email at ann.grafstein@hofstra.edu. We can also arrange one-on-one appointments in person, via Zoom or by phone.
