The charge will be $200 per year or $130 for 6 months or $75 for 3 months. Seniors may pay $95 for 12 months.

Browsing the collections in Robarts Library will require a Stack Pass. The charge for the pass is $20 and is effective for seven days.

In order to mitigate the impact of this new fee, York University Libraries will provide the interlibrary loans services necessary to ensure York students and faculty are successful in their academic pursuits. I also encourage graduate students and faculty to notify York University Libraries of monograph titles that they plan to use extensively for their research and studies so that the Libraries might consider purchasing a copy or copies for York’s collection. Each department, school and faculty at York has a liaison librarian who welcomes your suggestions for acquiring additional materials regardless of publication date. The Libraries routinely order from a number of out-of-print suppliers.

You may also submit information on any recommended item for purchase using an online form.
