If you are taking to TikTok for your revision tips, take a look over at the Library blog instead for some evidence-based advice on how you and your friends can avoid the rut of re-reading and creatively ready facts at your fingertips for exams

For more information, please re-read ;)

No, seriously - head on over to the Library blog for this week's evidence-based revision and rest tips: https://library.port.ac.uk/liblog/your-brain-on-deadlines-smarter-study-hacks-backed-by-science-not-tiktok

It often feels like the gentle art of rest is at risk of being forgotten amid the hectic race to get even more done. At the same time, we hear warnings that if we don't stop to smell the roses, perhaps literally, life can pass us by as we rush continually to be somewhere else, deferring happiness until we finish a never-ending to-do list.

Inspired by "The art of rest", this blog post teases apart all the ways we can slip a little more relaxation into every day without doing anything less, and argues the necessity of luxury, ease, and handling ourselves gently. Plus the usual shopping list of ways you can feel better every day.

Another hot day here in Portsmouth! You can refill your water bottle at the refill stations around the library. These can be found beside the soft seating near the library cafe, the toilets on the ground floor next to the library entrance, and on the second floor in Area 2B.

Happy Bank Holiday Monday!

The Library will remain open 24/7 until the end of the academic year but Library staff will not be working this Bank Holiday Monday 25 May.

IT Helpers are available today and our Security Team will be here continuously to keep everyone safe and secure.

Coming up tomorrow! Join local artists, students, activists, organisers, council and public library staff, and more for a celebration of allyship, civic engagement and ethics, where our Architecture students will be showcasing their design for a Sanctuary Centre in Portsmouth. Expect social and fun activities organised by students together with talks and opportunities to network with all those working to make Portsmouth a more cosmopolitan and inclusive city.

Oh, and we are told to expect 'tons' of food, drinks, tea and coffee. Last time we checked, tea and coffee were drinks, but we guess that just shows how much generosity you can expect! No-one mentioned that any of this was free though, so bring money just in case!

🎪 What: No-one is illegal - a festival of ideas and practice about migration
📅 When: Wednesday 20 May, 11am - 3pm
📍 Where: Milldam Courtyard (weather permitting)

While we strive to offer everything you need under one roof, it is worth remembering that you have access to:
* public libraries - here and at home (if you live elsewhere)
* the public library Access to Research network
* many other university libraries through the SCONUL Access scheme
* national libraries, like the British Library and national libraries of Scotland and Wales, if you live in Scotland or Wales, respectively and can travel there.

Depending on where you live, you might be spoiled for choice in where you can go to dig out the latest research. Other libraries often offer access only to their books and study spaces, but in many cases, that in itself can be liberating.

Read more about how you can access other libraries and what they can do for you on the Library blog at https://library.port.ac.uk/liblog/libraries-galore

Whether it’s something big or small, taking that first step matters.
