The MIT Libraries have a wealth of information to assist you in your research. All subject areas taught at the Institute are included in the collection. The collection is particularly strong in the fields of engineering, physical sciences, architecture, and management. Begin your library research by speaking with a librarian at one of the divisional library reference desks, or make an appointment in advance with a reference librarian. In addition to its own catalogues and printed sources, each of the five divisional libraries has CD-ROM databases that you can search on your own and use to print or download your findings.
Service is provided for a fee.
For more information, call x3-7746. Limited, quick searches of the same databases are available at any reference desk at no cost. The goal of the MIT Writing Requirement is to ensure that students are able to write clear and effective expository prose and that they leave the Institute with the communications skills necessary for professional success. MIT is revising the current Writing Requirement to integrate instruction and practice in writing and speaking into all parts of the undergraduate curriculum. As part of this initiative, the Institute has modified the Writing Requirement for the Class of 2003.
