Welcome!

Dear PWP faculty,

In this guide, We've assembled some of the key resources for doing library research in Unit 3 of the writing seminars, as well as some teaching tools/lesson plans to help introduce your students to Princeton's vast (and sometimes overwhelming) physical and digital collections.
