Special Resources Northwestern is fortunate in its location and in its own resources. There are countless facilities on and off campus that can enrich teaching and further students education. All requests for equipment must be arranged through the supervising professor.
Many departments have their own such equipment.
Librarians are available to visit classes and present information on such topics as relevant indexes, on-line databases, and specialized source material. Individual consultation or consultation for an entire class is also available, whether it be for term papers, theses, or dissertation. Through the pages, you can request instruction or consultation services, ask a reference question by e-mail, browse through frequently asked questions, or learn more about the library. Most of the tutoring is done by advanced undergraduates who are trained and supervised by the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences Writing Program. The Center offers a variety of opportunities for teachers at Northwestern to examine their teaching and to experiment with new ways of teaching.
