What is a LibGuide?

Think of a LibGuide as a "digital handout" that pulls together specific information in one convenient place. They are updated in real time, which means you are reading the most updated version at all times.

Purpose of This Guide

Every student's experience is different, especially when it comes to learning how to learn and how to study. You may master the skills it takes to be a successful student very quickly or it may take you longer than some others, but you can learn how to learn and we can help!

This guide collects some strategies and resources to help you develop your study skills. We hope you will use this guide as a starting point and then reach out for help if you'd like additional, personalized support.
