University of York Library Collection principles

News | Posted on Monday 28 October 2024

Our goal is to cultivate a library service that supports the University's strategic objectives, enhances research and teaching, and champions ethical practices across the scholarly publishing landscape. Members of the Library & Archives Committee, including library staff and academic staff in their role as Faculty representatives, have co-created a set of Library Collections Principles.
