Welcome to the Purdue OWL
We're working hard to place all of our existing and brand-new material into this new version of the site. Please use the provided search box if you are having trouble finding a specific resource.
The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University houses writing resources and instructional material, and we provide these as a free service of the Writing Lab at Purdue. Students, members of the community, and users worldwide will find information to assist with many writing projects. Teachers and trainers may use this material for in-class and out-of-class instruction.
In addition, we invite users to submit brief, writing-related questions to our OWL Mail Tutors. You may also find the Grammar Gang's blog rather useful.
For more information about services for the Purdue University community, including one-to-one consultations, ESL conversation groups and workshops, please visit the Writing Lab site.
