The Writing Excellence Studio at Tech (WEST) is open for the semester! We provide one-on-one writing consultation for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty, regardless of what field or writing you’re working on. We can work with you on things like clarity, cohesion, logical progression, or just making sure you’re doing what the assignment asks you to do in the most effective way possible. And we’re happy to work with you at any stage of the writing process. Regardless of your skill level, we’re here to help you feel more confident in your writing abilities. We have in-person hours in Henderson Hall 204B, or online appointments available. For information about our hours and how to schedule an appointment, check out our website at www.tntech.edu/english/west.

Films on Demand Ending; AVON Now Available
We have made a change in our library video collections:
-
- Effective immediately, we have access to AVON (Academic Video Online) via our Databases A-Z list:
https://www.tntech.edu/library/databases-atoz.php
Access to Films on Demand (FOD) ends October 30, 2021.
AVON is a collection of over 66,000 videos across multiple disciplines. It is searchable and browsable with filters for subject, publisher, language, release date, etc. AVON content is also discoverable in EagleSearch. We made this change because FOD usage has been declining, and AVON has more titles.
If you use a FOD video in your class, you will have access only until October 30, 2021. Check AVON for the same video or an alternative to use instead. You may also look in Kanopy and request that we purchase a video at $150 for one year of access, but please check AVON before requesting a Kanopy video to avoid duplication. Contact Sharon Holderman if you have any questions!
