I'm here to help and support you with your research and library needs! I can help you - 

• Figure out or narrow down a research topic for a paper/assignment
• Identify and evaluate sources, including how to distinguish source types and how to choose sources based on your research context 
• Strategize how to search for knowledge and access scholarly sources (such as data, statistics, books, etc.) and peer-reviewed articles, including how to use academic databases and Google Scholar 
• Learn best practices to read scholarly sources and critically appraise research methods
• Manage your sources and research using a citation management program like Zotero
• Navigate UNB Libraries’ website and physical library spaces

I can meet in person in the Hans W. Klohn Commons, anywhere on the Saint John campus, or virtually through Microsoft Teams. My work days are Monday-Friday and my specific available hours are subject to change. 

Contact me by email at alex.goudreau@unb.ca or through Microsoft Teams chat.
