News @ UNB Libraries

The language of film speaks to us on many levels. Evocative, engaging, visceral, film brings to life worlds of experience that other media can merely suggest. As such, documentary and feature films, in whole or in part, can play vital roles in teaching and research across all disciplines.

Come along to a session that will offer you an introduction to UNB Libraries’ film collection and the issues attending the use of film for research and instruction. The session is scheduled for Thursday, Feb 25, from 2:30 – 3:20pm.
