The A.C. Buehler Library is also home to The Learning Center and Student Accessibility Services
Elmhurst University's Learning Center (located on the Library's main level) offers free, one-on-one and small group peer tutoring to help first-year students with reading and writing. Students can visit the center at any point in the research and writing process to build writing skills, strategically summarize and synthesize sources, and complete assignments. Key resources for writers include:
Writing Tutoring to help you brainstorm ideas, organize your thoughts, cite sources, and edit drafts for your composition classes. View schedules and book a tutoring session online via the MyTutoring Portal.
Critical Reading Support to help you understand complex texts, break down main arguments, and read more efficiently.
Study Skills for effective study habits and executive functioning strategies
Elmhurst University is committed to providing opportunities for students with differing abilities in an inclusive, welcoming environment. If you experience or anticipate any barriers to reading, writing, and learning in English 105 or 106, please notify your instructor as soon as possible.
If you are a student with a documented disability and would like accommodations in order to participate fully in your coursework, contact Dr. Linda Harrell, Access and Disability Services Coordinator, at disability.services@elmhurst.edu.

ENG 106: Composition II Resources
Research is, very simply, using the best information available to answer a question. In ENG 106: Composition II, research involves developing a question based on a topic, exploring multiple resources, choosing the best sources, and putting all of that together. The A.C. Buehler Library's ENG 106 Course Guide will provide support for all of those steps.
Created by Library Director Carolyn Ciesla, "ENG 106 Research Help" is a series of videos that guides students through the research process, from exploring a topic to framing a research question and engaging in "scholarly conversation" on a topic or issue. Need more help? Ask a librarian!
