On September 5, 2007, the Peter F. Bronfman Business Library received its millionth visitor. This “history,” as it happened, was made by student Ian Milligan, in his first year of the Ph.D. Program in History, and on his first visit to the Bronfman Library, where he came to find some business books for his history research — a lively illustration of the interdisciplinarity of York University. Elizabeth Watson, Head of the Bronfman Library, presented Mr. Milligan with Seymour Schulich's best-selling new book, Get Smarter: Life and Business Lessons for the 20-to-40-Year-Old (Key Porter Books, 2007).
Cynthia Archer, University Librarian, remarked that “when the Bronfman Library was opened it set a new benchmark for library buildings. The design is graceful and beautiful while meeting the many varied needs of students at York; group study, wired study, silent study, connections to collections around the globe, and great staff. I extend my congratulations to Ian for his good fortune in being the one-millionth person to use this wonderful resource. He is now part of the York University Library family and we formally invite him to join us at our holiday reception in December.” |
