Stay safe, keep warm, and we’ll see you next year!

UNB Libraries’ staff wish you “good luck” on your exams!

Just a reminder that computers and quiet study space are in high demand in all our libraries at the moment.

We ask that you please respect everyone’s academic needs.

If you are studying in the Harriet Irving Library, keep in mind that the Milham Room (Room 100) on the first floor, the Seminar Room on the fourth floor, and the study carrels located along the periphery of the building on the fourth floor are the quietest areas in the building.

Need assistance finding a quiet space? Ask at the help desk of any library at UNB.

You can also Ask Us for help by email, by Instant Message, or by Text (506.800.9044).

How well do you know your library? You can help University of New Brunswick Libraries improve our communications strategy!

Our Libraries are committed to supporting students, faculty, and staff in their learning, research and teaching. To ensure that the university community is well informed of our resources, services, and events, we are undertaking a full communications evaluation.

We want to continue to build on our strengths. We are always looking for ways to improve and develop. During this process an external firm, MediaStyle, will assess all aspects of our communications. This process will result in strategic information that will allow us to improve our communications.

As a user of the UNB Libraries, we are soliciting your valuable opinion. We hope that you will take the time to provide us with feedback. This information will feed into a series of recommendations for how we can improve our communications even further.

Please follow this link to our survey: //www.surveymonkey.com/s/UNBLibraries

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions; you can contact our Librarian Intern at Laura.Corscadden@unb.ca. We are hoping to wrap up the survey process by December 15, 2014.

Thank you for helping us to improve library services to our UNB and STU communities on the Fredericton Campus.

Sincerely,

Lesley Balcom

Interim Director of Libraries

University of New Brunswick (Fredericton)
