Research Essentials returns
News 21 JulyThe library's Research Essentials classes are back for semester 2 and open for registrations.
With exams just around the corner, your campus library is a great place to help you manage study stress.
Our spaces and services are set up with busy students in mind, so lean on your library this assessment and exam season. Here's how you can use the library to manage your stress levels:
Scheduling study time
Scheduling your study time can reduce stress and help you stay productive. Our bookable study rooms allow you to nab a space just for you or for a group of friends to ensure a seat and uninterrupted study time. You also have the flexibility to access library spaces after business hours with your student card, so you can study around your schedule.
Finding quiet spaces
Little interruptions can feel like big stressors when you're studying for exams. The library has dedicated quiet zones that help you focus.
