Using the library—for academic success, career assistance, and just plain fun

The IHE Library would love to host a study club for any students.  Many people find that they study best with their classmates.  In groups, students can answer each other’s questions, test each other, and have fun, which reduces stress and helps the students feel less nervous.  If you would like to join our study club, ask your librarian in person or online at agerber@ihe.edu.
