11 +1 Ways to Make This Your Best Semester Yet
This is a blog I discovered over the summer. It has great tips and advice for how to organize your life and be more productive.
The title of this recent post is 11 Ways to Make This Your Best Semester Yet. Unfortunately, the author left out a very important way to help make this your best semester yet:
Visit the library
Ok, ok, I hear you. You’re thinking of course, you would say that. You’re a librarian. You love the library.
You’re right. I do. I love the library, but more importantly, I love seeing our students and faculty and staff in the library.
Here’s some things that you might want to do in the library to make it your best semester yet:
1. Ask a question at the reference desk. Librarians love to help people, so don’t hesitate to let us know how we can help you!
2. Sit in one of the green chairs and read something for fun. Browse the new book shelf or find a classic work of fiction. Look at our magazine collection. Read something from a journal you wouldn’t normally look at.
3. Get familiar with the library’s website. There’s lots of good info there that can save you time and effort when you need to do research.
4. Suggest a new book or video. We’d love to hear ideas from you about resources you need for a class.
