How about Writing about Writing?

Have you ever thought about writing a research paper about writing? Where did it begin? When did it begin? What’s the story behind different writing systems and the symbols they use (hieroglyphics, cuneiform, Chinese characters, etc.) and various alphabets, such as Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Roman, and Cyrillic. It is a fascinating topic.

And check out the many resources available on this topic at the BSC Library — everything from books & ebooks to magazine & journal articles, streaming video and more.
