WR122 James Bryant-Trerise

Welcome to your WR122 Course Guide. This term you are identifying a problem in your chosen field of study or career, investigating it, and sharing your findings and solutions in an essay. Simon's Cat, below, has a problem.

In this guide you will find resources that support:

• choosing an issue related to your field of study / discipline
• brainstorming keywords about your topic to find the best sources of information
• using CCC Library's Catalog to find resources about your topic
• using discipline-specific databases to find resources about your topic
• accessing permalinks to research articles 
• citing and formatting in MLA9
