Budget Cuts Hurt Writer's Resource Lab

The Writer's Resource Lab is one of the resources on campus that has been affected by this year's budget cuts.
Fridays have been eliminated from the schedule completely and the staff has been cut. Since there is less staff, help is less available, and the capacity of students allowed in the Resource Lab at a time has shrank.
The Daily49er talked to the coordinator of the lab Todd Fox, regarding the difficulty students are having trying to get an appointment with the lab.
“Yes, students are waiting longer. But have they been unable to get in — no,” Fox said.
Patient students can still go to the Writer's Research Lab, but an alternative for those who need help fast is the Research Paper Clinic where librarians and writing tutors can give students the assistance they need.
Even the Library itself is offering "Citation Formation Clinics between March 22 and May 13 in the Spidell Classroom" as means of more assistance.
It is good to see at times like these that help is still out there, and that although the Writer's Resource Lab is not at its full potential at the moment, other resources are being made available.
