The CSUCI Library

• The best place to start for research assistance!
• Check out the English Resources page for links to assist students in locating not only relevant books, articles, and multimedia, but also particular authors, subjects, and manuscript collections.
• You can even access the Oxford English Dictionary from this site-or check out some relevant graduate programs.
• Librarians are also at the reference desk to help you locate materials.
• Order articles or books not available in the library through Interlibrary Loan. (Loans take at least one week to arrive, often longer, so look for resources as early as you can in the semester).

Print out your own copy of Essay Writing Essentials, used in many literature classes at CSUCI.

Check out our Guide to Journals on Multicultural Literature, put together by Professor Brad Monsma's students.

Help with Style Guides

• The MLA Reference Guide is used in most English Program classes at CSUCI.
• Several courses use APA.
