Bentley University and the Bentley Library are closed for Winter Break Friday, December 22, 2017, through Monday, January 1, 2018. The library will reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 2.

Please note that the Deloitte Cafe (Einstein's) will be closed until spring classes begin on Tuesday, January 16. For more information about the library, café or help desk hours please check the online hours calendar.

Don't forget to return your library books and DVDs before leaving town for winter break. Log-in to your library account to view your checked-out items and their due dates. If you plan to use the library during break, you may renew your items online.

You may think you're being productive when you work for long stretches at a time on a single task (like cramming for an exam or writing a paper), but taking frequent breaks will actually improve your focus, attention, and performance! The library is hosting three events on Reading Day to encourage you to take some time off from studying to reboot your mind and body. Please drop in to as many as you can throughout the day.

A very popular question at the Reference Desk is "Where can I find primary sources?" Today we want to highlight two full text databases, World History in Context & U. S. History in Context, which help find and provide primary sources.
