As graduate students at York University, we are concerned that the library's plan to place in storage large sections of its third floor collection over the summer will be detrimental to our academic work, and to our progress through the program. We, the undersigned, ask the library to reconsider its plan, and to make third-floor books available, either through some sort of book-retrieval system, or through a temporary agreement with Robarts library to extend York students' privileges.
I really thought this might just disappear into the void but looking at how many of you jumped on board has honestly been the most surprising part of this whole stressful week. I am trying to figure out the best way to get these names in front of the administration because they need to see that we actually care about these shelves instead of just treating it like some boring administrative task.

Ridiculous. Grad students need those resources for their research. Stop making it harder for us to graduate.

York needs to stop cutting corners and leaving students out to dry. We pay tuition for a reason.

Keep the books on the shelves where they belong. The library is for study not storage.
