Writing Resources                      SIUC Writing Center

At our Faner Hall location, we have quite a few hard copy handouts, with topics ranging from research, invention, and revision.  At the present moment, the SIUC Writing Center offers several of these handouts on-line, which you can print or download. These handouts are in pdf file format, which requires either the Adobe Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Reader's web browser plug-in to view and print. The Acrobat Reader is available from Adobe free of charge.
