Secret studying hideaway

Need a super quiet place to study? I get my best contemplation done on the lower level, down the stairs by Room 104. There is a bank of carrels there by the stairs that hardly anyone uses. Shh! - don't give away the secret.

Those Song Lyrics--Now You Know

From my comfy spot in the library, I've noticed that some stress-reducing ideas for quick study breaks might be helpful these days. Just in time for exam period, Yahoo! has teamed up with Gracenote, a leader in digital entertainment technology, to provide easily searchable lyrics to about 400,000 songs on its Yahoo!Music web site. Are there any popular song lyrics-- from Motown to Metallica--that you never did understand, just can’t remember, or have disputed with your friends? Now all you need to do is use the new Yahoo!Music search engine by selecting "lyrics" in the drop down menu and typing the title or a few words you remember. Yahoo!Music will produce the full lyrics as published for any song in the database that matches your search. When you need a few minutes' escape from the law, give it a try.
