English 111

The library assignment is a requirement of English 111 classes. You should receive a copy of the assignment and of the Library Handbook in your English class or at the library orientation session held at Brown Library. Most of the files linked from this page are also reproduced within the Library Handbook. Extra copies are also available at the library reference desk.

The worksheet example is on the topic of animal rights. You may use it as a guide to filling in your own worksheet. The citations are formatted in MLA style. For more help with citing sources go to this page of links and handouts.

There is also a link to a blank worksheet. You may print a copy and fill it in by hand or you may save a copy on the computer and type your answers. To do it on the computer, you will have to be familiar with Microsoft Word or another word processing program. It may be necessary to work with changing font sizes and other formatting features in order to fit your work on the page and have your citations be formatted in proper MLA style. If you choose to do the worksheet by computer, please remember to save the worksheet before you start to do it. If you are in the library, you may choose to save it to a disk or to the library computer desktop. If you do save it to the desktop, you will need to complete it before you leave, as items saved there are lost as soon as the computer is turned off. For more help, please ask a library staff member.

The Library Orientation link takes you to the Power Point presentation that is shown during the English 111 library orientation class. To view the presentation you must save it first. To do that, right click on the link and choose save target as. Then decide where to save it. If you are in the library you may choose to save it to the desktop.
