It is very difficult task to study some new material or write your first paper. So, the first thing to start with is your working process and its organization. So, here you gave few main stages to organize your working process.
Stages of organization
- Bring anything you might need to the library. Try to plan your library time. Decide what classes you are going to study. Put in your backpack any materials you have for the class you are going to work with. Don’t forget about your notebook with notes you did during the class. Also, you might need to take a pan to make new notes or a highlighter.
Think about your computer. Is it absolutely necessary to take it to the library? Some students use their computers for taking notes or even reading digital copies of their books. But if this tool is not necessary, it is better for you to leave it at home. - It is highly recommended for you to find a library with the quiet floor. Not every library has it, so you should find some with multiple floors. It can place at top or basement floor of the building. Remember that main floor with entrance and reception is the noisiest one because of the foot traffic. Studying in the quiet room ensures the least amount of distraction.
- Find a small table for studying. There are often big tables in the libraries that were designed for groups of students. But you don’t need a company for studying. Small tables are big enough to place your books and computer there, but no one else will sit there except you. Also, it is very brutal and wasteful for only one person to take up a large table.
- Also, you should find a desk to work at. Usually, they are located in the back corner of libraries. Sometimes these desks are separated with special high sides. It can help you maintain your privacy.
- The best way to study at the library is to reserve an individual study room. Often this option is a privilege of the newer libraries. At the hottest studying season, you may need to do the reservation to use it. Sometimes you may need to reserve the studying room anywhere from 24 hours to one week in advance. Also, there can be a time limit for you to study there.
Notes:
- You probably may not be allowed to use large meeting rooms for individual studying process.
- It is not always necessary to reserve the studying room. If there is an open one you can definitely use it for your studying purposes.
