The UW Oshkosh Writing Center

Located in the Student Success Center, 729 Elmwood Avenue, Suite 102

wcenter@uwosh.edu / uwosh.edu/wcenter

(920) 424-1152

All UW Oshkosh students are eligible for one-to-one conferencing at the Writing Center. Free, confidential tutoring is designed to help students work through assignments and gain additional writing skills. Trained peer consultants can assist students at any stage of the composition process, from brainstorming for topics to fine-tuning a final draft. They will assist students with issues like grammar and mechanics not by marking up the paper, but by helping students identify patterns of error and helping them learn how to avoid those errors. The Writing Center now offers e-mail tutoring to online and distance education students.

More information can be found at uwosh.edu/wcenter.

The Chicago Manual of Style and Citations

Check out these resources for help with Chicago style.

Polk Library also possesses The Chicago Manual of Style. You can find it by asking someone at the reference desk on first floor south in Polk Library.

Please remember to check your citations for accuracy. Although the online features of the above resources are convenient, they don't always follow all rules of The Chicago Manual of Style. If you are citing a book, your natural tendency might be to capitalize it; however, Chicago style calls for capitalization of the first word in the title and only proper nouns. For example, a book might be titled: The Book of Small Grants and Collaborative Research in America. However, according to The Chicago Manual of Style, you would include this title in your reference list as The book of small grants and collaborative research in America.
