The website has been refreshed not only to make finding materials easier, but also to look great and be fully functional regardless of the size of the screen you may be using. Check it out on your desktop, tablet, or phone!

Note two new features: a search option under the tab “Encyclopedias, etc.”  to provide a more direct route to our Reference Materials and a “Learn How” feature to provide help for those who are learning how to use the rich resources of UNB Libraries.

Please give us feedback on your experience of UNB Libraries’ refreshed website!
