Accessible EBSCO ebooks are coming this June and bringing with them a whole host of benefits.

Don’t just change the font size, alter the spacing of letters and words and the gaps between lines of text in the EBSCO ebooks you read to make them more comfortable on the eye and, for anyone with dyslexia, easier to read.

Check out all the resources available to everyone on the Library website under Using Resources > Audio Visual Resources.

You might learn more faster by taking more frequent breaks. One way to work smarter rather than harder is to focus for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break to do something entirely different to reset your concentration ready for another 25 minute sprint.
