Dean and Chapter and University of York sign formal agreement
Posted on 21 October 2010
The Dean of York, the Very Reverend Keith Jones, and Stephen Town, the University’s Director of Information, will sign a formal Library Partnership Agreement later today at the Old Palace.
The partnership agreement enables joint provision of the Minster Library Service with University of York staff including recently appointed Librarian Sarah Griffin, working in the library at the Old Palace. There will also be a joint cataloguing and lending system for the library’s unique collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and music, and guaranteed free usage to all University students and staff. The library also welcomes all other visitors.
Although the partnership between the Old Palace and the University of York dates back to the 1960s, this new agreement provides a comprehensive framework for the future, reflecting the world-class nature of both institutions.
