It’s finals week, a time that for many can be filled with great amounts of stress. Many of you may start to see your news feeds littered with stories of those who decided to cheat in order to pass with various creative methods. Some of them will get caught, but I am here to share with you a foolproof method for cheating on finals.

The first thing to do is find out what is going to be on the test. You can usually find this information in the syllabus, or on eLearning. If you can’t find any information there, just ask the professor. Sometimes hiding in plain sight is the least suspicious thing you can do.

 
You will need a secure location for the next step. I recommend the library study rooms for their unrivaled privacy and lack of interruption. (The library also provides coffee during finals week to fuel your diabolical plans. It is also open for an extra hour on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) Remember to prepare ahead of time. Last second attempts almost always fail or get caught.

This next step is the most important. You need to take the information that you know will be on the final and write it onto your memory. Repetition is your friend here. Flash cards and mnemonic devices can help here too. This is very important as the teacher CANNOT see what is inside of your head. You can hide any amount of information in there with little to no repercussions.

Get a good night’s rest. You’ll need it.

Finally, on the day of the test, confidence is key. Walk through the door in the least suspicious way you can muster. Write down all the information that you "snuck in" and leave to avoid suspicion. Remember, the teacher has NO way of knowing that you have all the answers. Unless you tell him or her, you will NOT get caught. 

 
If you made it this far and followed all the steps you should be good to go. Be sure to laugh at all the other students who are “studying.” You know better. Enjoy your break.

Suggested Art Competition


The library staff has an idea for a new art competition and we need your help to determine if there is enough interest.  In lieu of the Library's participation in the University-wide art competition, it was suggested the Library sponsor a book art competition.


What is book art? 

There are so many types of book art out there and we have included some for you to see here in this blog.  Masland Library's definition of book art is: Art that is either designed or created using books as the main creative element.



Styles?

Sculptures, origami, architecture, and so many other styles can be used.

Welcome to the library blog

Everybody blogs. Some people blog without ever realizing that they are blogging. It is to be expected that in a society that runs on instant communication, most Americans are connected to the internet 24/7. With the increasing affordability of mobile devices -- iPhones, Blackberrys, Palm pilots and other PDAs -- one can access information such as sports scores, movie times, or directions to avoid an accident up ahead with the touch of a button. Now it is rare to meet a college student who does not have a Facebook or MySpace page.

With this in mind Masland Library has decided to provide information to the students via this format as much possible. Therefore the library created this blog as a place in which the librarians can share with you pertinent information and other items of interest.

This blog is only one of several new tools that the library will explore. The library will cooperate with faculty members via wiki to introduce you to study guides, research aids, and databases unique to subject matters of interest to each of the schools of the University.

Welcome back. Please keep an eye on this page for more postings. We also solicit your comments. Have a great semester.
