UT Library is the new hot spot!

Hello out there!

With only a few weeks left in the semester, most students are finding that they are having A LOT more work pushed on them than in previous weeks, me included! Soo many papers and projects come around this time and it is pretty overwhelming. Even though the weather is starting to get warmer and mor enjoyable, it seems as though more students can be found in the UT Library than at the pool. Some kids have even said that they should pay their housing deposits to the Library since they are there so often (not a bad thing, right parents?)

UT's Library, known as the Macdonald-Kelce Library, is an amazing resouce for students to take advantage of while on campus. With more than 275,000 books and 1,600 periodicals in the library, students can go to do research for papers or just check out a good read to bring to the pool. There are two designated computer labs in the library for students to utilize from research or simply printing materials for class (ps, printing is free! some schools charge students per sheet for printing, but not here!) Each computer lab has at least 1 lab assistant available to help you if you need anything!

Many students find it helpful to form study groups for classes to review for tests or do projects. UT's library has special rooms that students can reserve for up to 2 hours that are seculded from the rest of the library. Groups of students can meet there and no worry about being too loud for other students in the library trying to study. These rooms are great around midterms and finals when you have 2 or 3 students all gathering together.

Although the Library is not meant to be a social hot spot, you will see many different people all throughout the library. Meeting new people should be one of your goals when coming to college, and the library is one great place to do it!
