News @ UNB Libraries

UNB Libraries is pleased to offer students, faculty and staff the opportunity to test-drive a variety of electronic products offered to our librarians for evaluation purposes.

To access any of the electronic products currently under trial, select “Current Trials” from the e-Resources drop down menu.

The Milham Room (Room 100) in the Harriet Irving Library (HIL) is a comfortable new study space that is now open for study/research needs. The room is equipped with tables and seating for approx. 60. Students are most welcome to drop-in and check out the new space.

All print jobs sent on HIL’s 1st floor can be easily accessed from our centralized Printer Hub located in the main Learning Commons area (beside the Research Help Desk).

UNB Libraries is pleased to announce that LIVE, our virtual reference service, is now available from the new Learning Commons area.

Take LIVE for a test-drive and discover an online real-time environment where students can work collaboratively with HIL library staff to find library resources. Following each session, students receive an emailed transcript of their session.

A staple of our print reference collection, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), recently made its online debut on the UNB Libraries’ website. The Times describes the OED as “the ultimate authority of the English language as well as a history of English speech and thought from its infancy to the present day.”

Have you taken a peek at the new Learning Commons space in HIL? The 1st floor space is receiving lots of positive feedback from faculty and students about the open, modern design. Drop by, grab a coffee at the Commons Cafe, and take a look. New in the Commons this week:
