Did you know that many library databases will let you save a search so that you don’t have to reconstruct it later on?

To find out more, sign up for a MyDatabases workshop at the Harriet Irving Library on either Nov. 4 or 5.

For more details and to register, go to the library’s Cool Tools website at:
//www.lib.unb.ca/instruction/CoolTools.html

The pizza is free and the workshop just might prove to be invaluable!

When: Either Oct. 29 or Oct. 30
Where: Harriet Irving Library – Seminar Room (Room 109)
Time: 7-9pm

These free student workshops will provide general academic writing and citation tips, with a focus on how the APA style handles the citation of e-sources, plus some hands-on automatic formatting using QuickBib and Refworks.

PLEASE NOTE: Spaces are limited and students must pre-register at: //unb.ca/ctd/ (sessions are listed under the title “Pizza & Plagiarism”)

Sessions are a cooperative effort between UNB Libraries and the Student Union

Like to learn more about the library’s documentary and feature film collection? Sign up for our “Cool Tools” Film Collection workshop.

The session will offer an introduction to the library’s film collection and look at the issues surrounding the role and the use of films for teaching and research. All faculty, students, and staff are welcome.
