To accommodate the busy schedules of our students, most Holland College library locations are offering extended (evening and/or weekend) hours beginning on October 2nd.  Check the hours of the centre nearest you.

Guy Kawasaki, author of Art of the Start, has a great posting on his blog called The Ten Things to Learn This School Year. In summary here they are (see the original posting to read the content for each one):

1. How to talk to your boss.
2. How to survive a meeting that’s poorly run.
3. How to run a meeting.
4. How to figure out anything on your own. (Note: Libraries are a great place to pursue this one.)
5. How to negotiate.
6. How to have a conversation.
7. How to explain something in thirty seconds.
8. How to write a one-page report.
9. How to write a five-sentence email.
10. How to get along with co-workers.

and two extras …

1. How to use PowerPoint.
2. How to leave a voicemail.

Really worth a read. What are you planning to learn this school year?
