The rooms are generating lots of positive feedback and students are making bookings already at the Science Library’s Service Desk.

Samples of the new furniture for the rooms are on display in the Science & Forestry Library this week. Drop by and offer your input before final decisions on room furnishings and layout occur.

Are you a graduate or undergraduate student currently enrolled at UNB or STU? UNB Libraries is designing a new website in 2009 and we want your help to do it!

Between November 17 – November 19 our libraries are holding a series of focus groups that will help us to develop a new face for the library website.

Even if you don’t use our website much…that’s informative too! Tell us why and what you use instead. What could we do to improve your experience?

Food will be provided and all participants will receive a $25 honorarium. Focus group sessions will take place on the Fredericton and Saint Johncampuses of UNB from November 17-19 between 5:00pm – 7:00pm.

Interested? Contact Susan Oliver (Email: newlib@unb.ca or Tel: 452-6103) no later than November 12, 2008.

We want to learn from YOU!

Students can scan photos, images or documents using a new scanning station situated in the HIL Learning Commons.

Basic instructions for use and copyright information are posted beside the scanner. Research Help Desk staff can offer assistance if necessary.
