New Collection Alert: CECH Library Study & Focus Tools

Posted on by

CECH Library is excited to announce that the new Study and Focus Tools Collection (SFTC) is available to the UC community. The collection is located on the 3rd floor of the CECH Library near the stairs and items can be checked out for one week.

The SFTC was created with your help through a survey and many of you have interacted with the collection at ‘sneak peek’ events in Spring 2025. With your help, we also named our fidget slugs: Gleeb, Glorb, and Grape Juice.

This collection has a variety of items designed to help you be successful in your studies, stay focused, or manage anxiety.

Support your studies with items such as mini whiteboards compact timers, and more.

Stay focused using sound-blocking headphones, white nose machines, and blue light glasses.
