Library Skills Workbook

The Workbook is designed to help UB undergraduates develop their library research skills. It is a General Education requirement for all UB undergraduate students, including transfer students. Beginning in the fall of 2011, all undergraduate students are required to complete it during their first year of study at UB.

Periodically, the Workbook is redesigned, and at that time incomplete attempts are cleared. If you had begun but not completed the Workbook before that date, you will need to re-enroll and begin again.

You may access your Workbook score at any time by logging into the Library Skills Workbook on UBLearns and clicking on "My Scores" from the main left navigational menu. Within 48 business hours of completing and passing the Workbook, your HUB Academic Advising Report will be updated to indicate that you successfully completed it. Please feel free to send questions to ub-library-skills@buffalo.edu.

Discipline-Specific Versions

We now offer 4 discipline-specific versions of the Workbook. Each of these are optional, alternate versions of the Workbook. Any UB student may choose to complete one of these versions or the general version addressed above; any one of them will fulfill the requirement. Students should complete only one version. The 4 discipline-specific versions are: Architecture, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Music.
