Activities in Your House

Study Tips & Research Skills Workshop

Have a librarian and a member of the UNB Writing Centre come into your house and give a one-hour program on study techniques and research tools.  This can be arranged jointly for several houses, or customized for yours.  The focus will be on the unique needs of residence students, and the content can be adapted to respond to specific challenges you've identified in your house.

House History Board

Did you know that the UNB Archives have lots of photos and information on the residence buildings?  We'll put you in contact with one of our archivists, who will help you design a board full of stories, images and events from your house's past.

Library Orientation Board Kit

Want to run a passive program on library space and services?  Request our pre-designed board kit, which will provide basic information about the library and its resources.  The kit will be sent to you electronically (PDF), and all you will have to do is print it out in the Residence Life office!  We encourage creative additions to the basic kit.  It is available in two formats: one designed for colour printing, and another modified for black and white printing on coloured paper.

Librarian in the Study Lounge

Organize a 1-2 hour paper and report-writing session in your study lounge, and we will send someone from the library to sit in, offer advice, and answer research questions as they arise.  Bring the resources of the Research Help Desk to your residents in their home away from home!  This can be particularly useful if you feel that residents of your house need research support, but aren't comfortable going to the library to seek it.  We'll gladly come to you!
