Drop by the Learning Commons in the Harriet Irving Library (HIL) and browse From Crystals to Gems – a travelling exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Nature.
For thousands of years crystals and gemstones have been coveted for their beauty, value and perceived powers, yet most of us know little of how crystals grow or how they are cut and polished into gems. From Crystals to Gems explores the world of crystals: how they grow and their variety in form and colour. Visitors will also be introduced to gemstones: their special attributes of beauty, rarity and durability and how they are cut and polished.
The exhibit is open during HIL opening hours until Thursday, June 4.
Sponsors: UNB Department of Geology & Faculty of Science, Science East, Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of New Brunswick, NB DNR-Minerals, Freewest Resources Canada, Canadian Geologcal Foundation, Atlantic Geoscience Society, & NSERC.

In collaboration with ITS, the Engineering Library has launched a pilot that enables print credit-based photocopying.
The new system offers students the option to swipe their University ID card through a reader device that unlocks the photocopier and photocopying proceeds in the usual manner. Photocopy charges are then deducted from the student’s print credit account.
Currently the pilot is only available at the Engineering Library and students are encouraged to drop by to take the new photocopy system for a test-drive.
Testing will ensure that any technical or operational issues are resolved prior to a gradual implementation of the technology at other locations.
Comments or questions about the pilot can be emailed to Steve Lelievre, Head – Engineering Library at lelievre@unb.ca.
