DePaul Library staff have put together a guide of resources for a virtual study break featuring art &amp; music, movies, games, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need a break? Here are a few suggestions!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/c.php?g=1030157&amp;p=7469579\"><b>Tour a museum:<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even though some museums are opening up to the public again, you can still take the opportunity to virtually browse the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Guggenheim, complete with high resolution images and even a simulated walking tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/c.php?g=1030157&amp;p=7469661\"><b>Watch a movie:<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As a DePaul student, you have access to thousands of streaming videos through the library. Hundreds of feature films, recorded theatrical performances, and so many fantastic documentaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/c.php?g=1030157&amp;p=7469667\"><b>Read a (non-academic) boo<\/b><b>k:<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ve probably spent a lot of time this quarter with the library\u2019s extensive academic databases and e-books. Our e-book collections include a lot of non-academic e-books: cookbooks, poetry, fiction, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more recommendations, check out the Brain Fuel Library Guide at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/brainfuel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/brainfuel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
