Learning Centers around the country have made information available on a
variety of study skills topics. We've categorized some really great
sites. If you find others you'd like us to include here, please e-mail
our webmaster. Please realize
that we try to keep the links up to date by constantly researching these

What ARE Study Skills I should
work on?
Educational psychologists and theorists have worked for many years to
identify the skills that students need to master in order to succeed.
This site from the University
of Minnesota Duluth provides a great list of the study skills that have
been identified as crucial for all students.
The University of
Central Florida provides wonderful study skills handouts
via the web. Virginia
Tech provides a great "Self-Help" guide to get
you started. Oklahoma
State University's College-Prep 101 is a fabulous site,
too.
We highly recommend that
wherever you start in your search, that you realize that there
are many ways to become a more efficient learner. These
strategies are only worthwhile if you try them out and see how
they work for you.
Below are some sites we've found from universities around the
country (and around the world, too). Once you get into
their sites, you might consider looking around. You might
find some useful information on related pages.

don't have available in the LSS
