Bloomberg terminals back in Mann Library
This past summer, Bloomberg Professional returned to the standard access model of requiring users to go to specific dedicated terminals to access the Bloomberg software. This change means that anyone hoping to use Bloomberg on the Cornell campus will have to visit one of these terminals; 3 of which can be found in Mann Library. Other terminals can be found in the Management Library, the Hotel Library, and the Law Library. During the height of the pandemic, Bloomberg allowed remote access to their terminals from March of 2020 through June of 2022. While remote access was both popular and convenient, it was never intended to be permanent.

Bloomberg is a powerful all-encompassing business research tool that is exceptional for finding financial news and data. To learn more about Bloomberg and how to use it, attend one of our Bloomberg workshops (see list above or register here: mann.library.cornell.edu/workshops), or contact our Business & Economics Librarian, Tom Ottaviano, at tjo65@cornell.edu.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH GRANT CALL - FALL 2022

I want to make you aware that CALS has many funding opportunities available for undergraduate research projects, including Research Honors projects. There are a number of grants available, which can be found at https://cals.cornell.edu/undergraduate-students/student-research/undergraduate-student-grants-proposal-information. Deadlines and application information are available on this website. I encourage you to ask your faculty research mentor (or potential mentor) if they have projects or ideas that you could contribute to with your own individual research.

One source of research funding is a $1,000 supplement to a Hatch grant that some faculty members have. You should ask your faculty research mentor (or potential mentor) if he/she has a Hatch project that you might contribute to with your own independent research. There are many more undergraduate grant opportunities available, which can be found at https://cals.cornell.edu/undergraduate-students/undergraduate-student-research/undergraduate-student-grants-proposal-information. Deadlines and application information are available on this website.

LEARNING STRATEGIES CENTER – LSC

To find out more about study groups and partners, and to sign-up for study partners for a class you are in, visit the LSC’sÔÇ»Studying Together webpage.

• Learning from digital materials: Highlighting, annotating, book-marking, and other features of digital academic resources are important tools for student learning, but they can sometimes be non-intuitive to use. The Learning Strategies Center has developed a guide to help you learn from digital materials.
• What does “studying” mean to you? When you study, do you passively review your notes or academic materials right before a test a quiz, or do you actively re-work (with no answer key) practice problems, summarize your notes, and go to office hours? Active strategies for studying coupled with a schedule work best. The LSC has lots of resources on how to study, including note-taking and reading strategies, effective study strategies, concept mapping, and developing a 5-day study plan.
• Canvas Study Skills Modules to Start the Semester Strong:ÔÇ»The Learning Strategies Center (LSC) has Canvas modules on “Gearing up for Academic Success”, “Managing Space and Time”, “Taking Effective Notes”, and “Preparing for and Taking Exams”.
