The following materials will be useful for preparing term papers and research reports.  Instructors often require that papers conform to a particular manual.  Whichever style manual is recommended, consistency in style and complete bibliographic information is always necessary. Students may seek assistance with papers for any class in any department, or for preparation for writing exams at the CSUS Writing Center. The Writing Center is located in Room 128 of Calaveras Hall.
