information resources for the campus community.

books in CD and cassette formats. There is also an extensive collection of juvenile material and a Curriculum Collection that support students
in the Education program. The Special Collections area on the second floor features rare books, local histories, material on Utah’s Dixie, the

of Oral Histories.

The building is an information home for the campus, with comfortable furniture, an information commons with 50 computers located near the
reference desk, a computer lab located in the basement, a special collaborative learning area, group study rooms, areas for quiet study, and
leisure furniture for more relaxed study. Reference librarians are available to support research and information needs. Circulation staff assist
library users in checking out materials and assist with materials on Course Reserve. The library is open more than 90 hours each week during
the fall and spring semesters. Hours are posted on the library website: http://library.dixie.edu. Materials may be checked out using a DSC
student ID card or special community borrower card.

The Library’s online access is available 24 hours a day. Through the Library homepage, users have access to the Library catalog. In addition
to listing the print materials in the collection, the catalog provides access to more than 50,000 titles in the Library’s e-book collections. There
are also almost 100 online databases that provide access to articles in more than 25,000 periodicals (journals, newspapers, magazines), and

The Dixie State College Writing Center is located on the first floor of the Browning Learning Resource Center. Our services are free to DSC
students, and our mission is to help you become a better writer by approaching your assignments as a process of invention, writing, and
revision.

The Writing Center is staffed by peer tutors who offer suggestions, instruction, and tips to help you improve your individual skills. Please keep
in mind that the Writing Center is not a proofreading service. We focus on helping you become a better writer rather than helping you correct
every single mistake in an essay. Tutors give basic suggestions for improvement and teach you to review your own papers. We will do our best
to help you improve your writing skills, but responsibility for generating a perfectly written, error-free paper lies solely with you.

While face-to-face sessions are most effective, we also offer an Online Writing Lab (OWL), which can be accessed at owl@dixie.edu. You
may e-mail your paper as an attachment to this site; tutors review the paper and return it to you via e-mail. If you use this service, allow a few
days for your paper to be reviewed. For example, if a paper is due on Friday, you should not wait until Thursday night to submit the paper to
the Writing Center.

We look forward to helping you at the Writing Center; please let us know how we can improve our service to you and to Dixie State College.
For more information, contact the Writing Center Director.

widely used of these services.

Who can receive tutoring?

All registered, degree-seeking Dixie State College students have access to some form of tutoring.

What can tutoring do for me?

How much does tutoring cost?
It's FREE for all registered, degree-seeking Dixie State students!

Where is the Tutoring Center?
The Tutoring Center is located in the Browning Resource Center (downstairs from the Testing Center).

Why is Drop-In Tutoring useful?
Drop-In Tutoring allows students to work on assignments independently while having the opportunity to have tutor assistance when needed.
Drop-In Tutoring also encourages the formation of study groups because students will often make contact with other students in the same
subject area. Finally, it allows students the flexibility to come in at their convenience during posted hours instead of keeping set appointments
with a tutor.

How do I sign up for Drop-In Tutoring?
The first time you enter the Tutoring center, you will need to enter your DSC Identification number, along with your name, phone number, and
e-mail address. Thereafter, only a DSC ID is required.

How does Drop-In Tutoring work?
First, stop by the Tutoring Center and view the Drop-In Tutoring Schedule. This schedule will let you know when a tutor is available for your
particular subject. Then, pick a time that is convenient for you and come on in!

What can I expect from Drop-In Tutoring?
When you come in for Drop-In Tutoring, you will sign in on the computer and have a seat at one of the tables in the Tutoring Center. The tutors
will circulate through the Center, answering student questions as they arise. Please be patient. Tutors address questions on a first-come, firstserved
basis, but there is always time to address everyone's questions.

Can I be a tutor?
The Tutoring Center is looking for students to tutor Math 0900 - 3310 and some Science courses.
