Language and Literature Resources at OSU Library
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. For information on the foreign language offerings at OSU, visit the Languages and Literatures departmental website.
There is a separate guide for American Sign Language (ASL).
