We hope you had a relaxing, fun Spring Break and are ready to tackle the rest of semester. In addition to the daily readings, you probably have a lot of projects and papers due in the coming weeks. One helpful tool available through Curry Library is EndNote Web. EndNote Web helps you keep your research resources organized and will help you format a reference list or bibliography for your papers. Please stop by the reference office to get signed up for EndNote Web and learn how this can help speed up your research process. As always, when you need help getting started with your research be sure to stop by the reference desk for that extra boost .

Spring break is traditionally a time to go somewhere with friends or catch up on those things needing attention . Unfortunately, this year's travel may be limited to the trip back home. If that is the case, you may hear the unfinished project or soon to be started paper calling. But the truth is, most of us just want to put these tasks to the side for a week and truly take a break. But, you may ask, how can one take a break at home without being 'bored out of your gourd'?

Well, here is a practical suggestion on how to stretch and relax during the next week: Read for fun. Reading is a great way to travel a bit without spending a dime. A good book will transport you to whatever world you enjoy - fantasy, history, mystery, comedy - it is up to you.

So go ahead, take that break, at least for a little while and relax. Stop by the library before leaving campus, pick up a book off the Best Seller or New Book shelf and just read.
