This guide covers finding print and online resources for the study of languages and literatures at the OSU Library, especially Spanish, French, German, Russian, Classics (Latin and Greek), Japanese, and other languages. It will focus both on language-learning resources such as dictionaries, grammars, and other guides (including online language-learning resources) and on resources for literary criticism and study of literature and culture/civilization in the different national languages.
