Calling all Graduate Students! Are you writing on your own this summer? Come join the Graduate Student Writing Café. Each Wednesday from 9:00am-12:00pm, the Study Lounge (317A) in the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons will be reserved for graduate students to work on their independent writing projects.

Use this scheduled time each week to engage with other writers, stay focused, increase your productivity, and help hold yourself and your fellow graduate students accountable for getting your writing done!

Starting Wednesday July 13th, come write! Not only will you have peer support, but you will be provided with coffee and a treat to fuel your mind

This is also a great opportunity to explore the new Harriet Irving Library Research Commons and find your favourite writing location in the library. We welcome feedback and ideas for helping support our graduate students!

We hope to see you there!

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!
