CE 0290 - Copyediting: Tools of the Trade
Course Description
1-session Online Course
Copyeditors do not know everything, but they do know where to look for information. After a brief orientation by an Emerson reference librarian, participants will do their own research on a contemporary usage controversy using the resources that copyeditors depend on, including dictionaries, usage books, and discipline-focused style guides, both on the shelves and in the library database. Afterward, participants will present their findings to the class.
