Stanford Libraries and Other Resources

The Stanford Libraries and Archives will be crucial to student success in PWR courses, so students should begin familiarizing themselves with these resources early in the quarter. SKIL, the online library research tutorial should be completed by students as part of their work in PWR 1. “W.G.’s Funky Tour of Green Library,” developed by PWR instructor Wendy Goldberg and available online at http://www.stanford.edu/%7Ewendyfay/tour.html provides a detailed guide of Green Library. Students can use the Library Research sites for an overview of library resources:

PWR asks that all instructors include this student resource on PWR syllabi.
