What's All the Hoot About? Why We Recommend The Purdue OWL

Provided by Liz Noffsinger and freedigitalphotos.net
You might have heard of the Purdue OWL, or Online Writing Lab, from your tutor, your professor, and your especially studious friends.  So what's with all the fuss about this website? 
Simply put, The Purdue OWL is one of the best and most comprehensive guides to writing English papers ever made, online or otherwise.  You need help with the ever-changing MLA format? The Owl's got that. Confused by comma rules? Yeah, they got that covered.

Speaking in a more serious manner, The Purdue OWL talks about complicated issues like MLA citation in a clear and readable way. They have great diagrams and interactive memory tools that are especially made for college students' use.  We might have other blog entries covering more specific tools in the OWL, but until then, explore The Purdue OWL on your own. Be warned though, like TV Tropes, the OWL can be addictive.  Don't blame us if you spend way too much time reading about commas... Enjoy!

Happy Writing,
