About this guide

This guide is a starting point for locating resources for your work in WRT 205 - Writing and Organizational Cultures. These collections and resources found on this page are more focused than the general Summon search tool, but you may find additional resources on Summon. If you can't find the resources that you need with the resources linked on this page, I would also recommend checking out research guides for specific topics, such as business and anthropology, that librarians here at SU have created. You can also visit the databases homepage and filter databases by subject, such as "Business & Entrepreneurship," to find additional databases.
