Librarians can help you find all kinds of information! While you are in college, this info is usually related to your school assignments. However, we can also help you find things like job boards, locate recipes, or check out books about caring for your pet!
My name is Erin Weber, and I am one of the librarians here at UTM. I will be peppering this guide with suggestions and tips from my own life. These are simply the things that work for me, and to show you that there is a real person behind this guide. Ask all of your adultiest adulting questions, and I can help you locate the resources to answer them!
College is a great time to learn about all kinds of things, including the life skills that you will use for the rest of your life.
I'm a big believer that just about everything is a skill, and that means you can practice and improve! Reach out to me if you need more adulting help. If I can't answer your question, I'll try to find someone on campus who can.
In this guide you will find resources about:
Cooking (including nutrition)
Housing (renting and owning; organization and cleaning)
Adulting Discussion Board (where you can ask all your questions and offer advice to your peers based on what you've learned)
Discussion board policies:
Be kind. Keep any criticism constructive and helpful.
Don’t nitpick grammar, spelling, or word choices.
The library reserves the right to close or delete a thread at any time.
The library reserves the right to create new policies as needed.
