News @ UNB Libraries

New measures are now in place at UNB Libraries to protect the health of the university community, aligned with recent changes to provincial Public Health Measures and Mandatory Order Regulations.

When entering any of UNB Libraries you will be asked for your UNB UCard or the UCard Mobile ID app, either by "tapping in" or showing your UNB ID.

You may also use your UNB SafeApp to show your vaccine approval status along with government issued picture ID.  Library staff are aware that some students may not yet have activated their UCard ID, and will support you over the next few days to ensure that UNB students in compliance with the COVID Testing Policy do not lose access to the Libraries.

St. Thomas users will be asked for their STU SafeApp and either UCard or picture ID.

Please also be aware that UNB Libraries are currently closed to members of the broader community.   

Please be prepared so that you don’t encounter delays when entering your library.

Thank you for your cooperation.

UNB Libraries has updated its homepage design and navigational menu.

The new look features

• more and larger images
• a streamlined primary search box that’s front-and-centre on the page
• more ways to connect to library services like Ask Us, Research Data Management, and Digital Publishing
• a larger and more prominent Library News and Features section
• a welcome message from the Dean of Libraries

None of the library’s popular website features have been removed, but some have been redesigned. The library’s subject and course guides, for example, are still there and function the same as before, but now, instead of accessing them from a long list on the homepage, there’s a pull-down menu that sits right below the primary search box.

The main navigational menu has been completely redesigned. It now covers services and spaces offered more broadly, making it easier to find what you’re looking for throughout the site.

Other changes include improved keyboard navigation and accessibility, and enhanced mobile and tablet views.

We hope you love the updates as much as we do!

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
