Resources to Help You Conquer Crunch Time

It seems as if the semester just began and now, we’re nearing the end—when research papers are due, exams are taken, and you need to hunker down and finish up your work. We are here to remind you that the Libraries have the resources you need to help you finish the semester strong.

A good place to start is our website, where you can use Library Search for all your questions. You can also see our hours (including extended hour offerings) for all library locations. Or you can go directly to our undergraduate and graduate user guides containing details of library resources tailored for you!

Find study space

Both Charles Library and Ginsburg Library have rooms that you can book to work alone or in a group. At Charles Library, you choose what kind of studying environment you like best—whether that’s a quiet place to study, a view of our green roof on the fourth floor, or you prefer to plop down in a comfy bean bag chair, we have you covered. 

Take a break 

We are hosting a few opportunities for you to take a break from the busyness of this time of year that we hope you’ll take advantage of!  

On Friday, December 2 at 2pm, stop by the Makerspace for our Holiday Décor Workshop. Make gifts and décor for the holidays with help from staff on the laser cutter and 3D printers. Some possible ideas include: 3D printed trinkets, custom greeting cards, 3D printed cookie cutters, laser cut ornaments, and more. 

On Tuesday, December 6 between 11am and 2pm, join us to Get Crafty in the Charles Library event space! We’ll have a variety of activities to keep your hands busy and your mind quiet. There will also be snacks. 

On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:15pm, check out the Annual TachyChordia Winter Concert in person at Ginsburg Library room 160 or tune in on Zoom. TachyChordia is the Lewis Katz School of Medicine’s student a cappella singing group. They will perform holiday favorites and popular songs during this hybrid event.  

And on Friday, December 9 at 11am, it’s time to stretch and child’s pose your way to the end of finals. Join us for this free hour-long yoga class in the Charles Library event space. 

The end is near 

We know this time of year can be difficult. We hope this roundup of library assistance gives you some relief. And if not, just know that soon you’ll be heading into your well-deserved winter break. Even then, the Libraries will be here for you during break and when we return for the spring. You got this!
