One of the things you may be worried about is the amount of reading you will be expected to do. You may be given a reading list, or there may be just one specific book for your course.
VISIT THE LIBRARY
Make sure you visit the library often and make friends with your librarian.
Whether it's a university, a college or your local public library, the librarian is there to help you. In many cases there may be a subject-specialist librarian, who will be able to tell you exactly which books you will require and where to find them.
Take your reading list along with you and find out where books for your subject are stored. Make a note of the Dewey decimal number on the spine of each book, as this will enable you to find them again easily. For example, 649.1 is the number category for childcare books.
