Stress-Less at the Library. Refuel, Relax, Recharge!

Lisa 1 Comment

Stress-Less at the Bentley Library
co-sponsored by the Bentley Library and CSD Develop U Peer Educators

The art gallery has been transformed into a stress-free zone for exam period.  While the gallery is always a quiet, contemplative place, this week we’ve equipped the space with stress-busting activities to help you renew, regroup and refresh. You’ll find jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, and other quiet games to give your brain a break.

May 1 – May 3 the gallery will be stocked with water and snack bars to help you re-energize!

Thank you to the Develop U Peer Educators for their assistance and co-sponsorship of “Stress-Less”.

Research Guides to the Rescue

Lisa

What do you do when you don’t have time to ask a librarian for help? Where can you turn for a list of the best databases or books to use for your class assignment? Where do you get help when the Reference Desk is closed? Give our online library research guides a try!

Library research guides are available for a number of popular research topics and course assignments (like GB214 and GB320). The guides are designed by Bentley Reference Librarians to help you locate the best resources for your research. Research guides can answer questions like:

“How do I get information about a company?”

“Where do I find financial ratios for an industry?”

“Which databases should I use to get articles for my Business Ethics paper?”

“How do I cite sources in APA Style?”

“I’m taking GB214. What are the best databases for my assignment?”

The entire collection of library research guides is available at http://libguides.bentley.edu/, or just look for the link on our homepage.
