News @ UNB Libraries

UNB Libraries is pleased to announce our acquisition of Covidence, a systematic review and knowledge synthesis support tool.  You can create your new, free, unlimited Covidence account by following the instructions here: https://app.covidence.org/organizations/7WXV5/signup. Please note that all new accounts require an @unb.ca email address.  Check out Covidence Academy (https://www.covidence.org/covidence-academy/) to learn about how Covidence can help you with your review.

This new resource complements the library's supports and services for knowledge synthesis researchers. UNB Libraries has two knowledge synthesis searching experts; we also offer an annual workshop series that introduces the research methodology used in reviews and provide ongoing support using both synchronous and asynchronous instruction opportunities.  For more information about our systematic review and knowledge synthesis supports, or to contact one of our librarian specialists, visit our webpage here: https://lib.unb.ca/research/knowledge-synthesis/.

Happy reviewing!

President Paul Mazerolle congratulates the winners of UNB’s first annual Images of Research competition. This collaboration between the School of Graduate Studies and the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons asked UNB graduate students to capture their work in a single image.

Starting April 6th, the images will be displayed at the Hans W. Klohn Commons and the Research Commons on the third floor of the Harriet Irving Library.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who participated and showed us what graduate research looks like.
