In honour of the advent of Study Hall, which will run from April 11th to the 28th at our three resource branches (Civic Centre, Bathurst Clark, and Pierre Berton) and offer extended hours for studiers (until midnight from Monday to Thursday and until 9pm from Friday to Sunday), I thought I’d bring you some study support to make your preparation for exams, final assignments, or professional requirements a little easier.

Databases

My first database recommendation is Brainfuse HelpNow. This database—accessible for free with a library card—provides resources for students from kindergarten to grade 12, including access to live tutors, live French and Spanish language help, an online writing lab, LEAP learning platform and more.

An Adult Learning Centre is also available, for post-secondary and other needs. Brainfuse also offers help with High School Equivalency preparation, the Canadian Citizenship Exam, Microsoft Office, Career Resources, etc. Explore Brainfuse’s SkillSurfer and find a library of lessons, videos, tests, and other resources. You can even send questions to an expert and get an answer within 24-hours!
