What is the difference between the Writing Lab and the Online Writing Lab (OWL)?
The Writing Lab is the physical location that offers writing support to the Purdue University West Lafayette campus. The Writing Lab provides one-on-one consultations, workshops, ESL conversation groups, and other services. The OWL is a digital extension of the Writing Lab, but it is also a website that contains a repository of writing support materials. While Writing Lab services are available only to students, faculty, and staff at Purdue University, the OWL and its corresponding OWL Mail Service, is available to anyone in the world.
