YORKwrites 2007 – Celebrating York’s Authors
Mark your calendars for the second annual Celebration of York Authors. York University Libraries and York University Bookstores, as part of the campus YORKwrites initiative, are hosting a reception to recognize and celebrate the publication achievements of York faculty and the York community at large.The YORKwrites reception will take place as follows:

Date: Wednesday, November 7, 2007 4-6pm
Location: Scott Library - Second Floor Atrium

To ensure that the list of York publications from the last year is as complete as possible, we invite York’s resident authors to send a note to yorkwrit@yorku.ca advising us of your recent publications – or use the online form on the YORKwrites webpage to submit updates.  Also available on the YORKwrites website is a list of publications that will be celebrated at the event.  Please submit any updates or omissions by October 20, 2007 in order for us to be able to profile your work at the event.

We wish to note that “publications” include books, chapters, articles, published conference papers, and other written works that you, as a York author, would like the community to know about, as well as non-print publication: video or film productions, musical recordings, artistic works, dramatic or dance productions, and so on. YORKWrites aims to showcase and celebrate the breadth of York scholarly, scientific, professional, and creative publication, the proud culmination of much hard work across the University. While the vast majority of the publications recognized through this initiative will inevitably be those of faculty, we also wish to include the publications of students (notably our graduate students), staff, and alumni.

YORKwrites is an initiative of the Libraries and the Bookstores and is presented in collaboration with sponsors and the generous support of many departments across campus, including the Offices of the Vice-President Academic and Vice-President Research & Innovation.
