The BCIT library invites participate in Freedom to Read week, starting on February 18th, and ending on the 24th!
This exciting week was established in 1984 by the Book and Periodical Council in response to book challenges and bans within our Canadian borders. After forty years, this event is recognized nationwide.
At BCIT’s library, we encourage you to enjoy books that have been previously banned or challenged- including Reilly’s Bad Medicine: A Judge’s Struggle for Justice in a First Nations Community.
Please come visit us at the Burnaby, Aerospace, or Marine campus to explore our reading selections. If you would like to find out what other reading materials have come under fire, please visit the Freedom To Read Week 2024 libguide page.
To learn more about Freedom to Read Week, please visit. I will add the link.
We hope to see you soon at the BCIT library & check out a book from our list!

Optimize your learning: Create Good Time Management Habits

Author: Mark Williams

According to studies, students who employ solid time management strategies tend to achieve higher grades. In fact, one study found that how well a student manages their time is a stronger predictor of postsecondary success than measures such as high school GPA or entrance test scores. Students who manage their time effectively are more productive and engage with their learning on a deeper level. Time management strategies also help fight procrastination. In addition, good time management can create opportunities for important self-care activities, such as sleep, exercise, relaxation, and social interaction.

Good time management is about making your day purposeful. This starts with recognizing that you can control how you use your time. When we control how we use our time we are able to balance our responsibilities, optimize our focus, increase our productivity, and do a better job on our tasks. Effective time management, however, is not achieved randomly. You need to use strategies that work for you, and it is critical to make these into habits.
