We have all collectively got through a cold winter, and spring is now fast approaching together with the Easter break. With that in mind inside this issue we have an article on hidden gems within the Library website, which you can access whether you are on campus or hundreds (or even thousands!) of miles back home. Together with that we have continued our interview series with a piece on Sara, one of the Academic Support Librarians there to help you with your studies. In addition we also have pieces on the upcoming International Women’s Day and the books that the Library will display and an update on what’s on at the Library over the Easter break for those staying on campus. Without further ado, please enjoy these articles and have a great Easter break!

Hidden Gems: Rediscover the Library Website By Arin Ososanya
There’s no doubt, you’ve been on the Library website several times to find a book, an article.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with all the hidden gems and some of my personal favourite ‘virtual spots’ on the website which may usually go unnoticed. (Shhh, don’t tell anyone!)

What’s on Over Easter? By Arin Ososanya
Many of us are staying on campus, in Coventry or Leamington-Spa over Easter to keep our noses buried in our books – but don’t fret! The Library still has events going on that you and your friends can look forward to, to decompress, destress and keep your mind in a healthy space prior to exams and deadline season.
