Four ways to use the Library to improve your results this Semester

We’ve designed a bunch of (free!) workshops and events to help you get the most out of Uni. Here’s how to cruise through semester 2:

1. Develop a study routine

 The temptation to binge watch a Netflix series, clean your room or scroll through Facebook when studying at home can often be too hard to deal with. Not to worry…we have the solution: Eliminate distractions & sign up for our ‘Focus and Study’ sessions.

These sessions use the Pomodoro technique and are all about short bursts of intense productivity. By committing to 2 hours every week of study away from your usual study spot at home, your study productivity will increase & your uni results are bound to improve!

Focus & Study Sessions

When: Every Wednesday during semester, 1-3pm

Where: Fisher Library Digital Scholarship Studio, level 5

Are you a postgraduate student? Join ‘Focus & Study’ every Wednesday & Saturday 1-3pm at the Quarter Event Space

No need to register for sessions – just drop in.

2. Make the most of everything the Library has to offer by learning ‘How to Library’

 Countless books and online resources, printing, study rooms, computers and expert staff ready to answer all of your questions – the Library has it all!

‘How to Library’ will give you an intro to everything you need to know to get started and harness the power of the Library.

How to Library Sessions

Bring with you: Your own device e.g. iPad, laptop, phone (this is optional)

When: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 2-3pm

3. Break with Coffee & Croissants

Navigating uni can be difficult, but our Peer Learning Advisors (PLAs) are here to help.

Our PLAs are fellow students (just like you) and they are always available to chat- armed with all the uni know-how, with anything from assignment troubles to where to food on a budget.

Come along to meet & chat with our PLAs over coffee & croissants.

Coffee & Croissants: Chat with our PLAs
