Welcome to YorkU Libraries
Musaddiq Ahmed, Library Student Success Mentor
Hey there! I'm Musaddiq Ahmed, a senior Economics major, and I've been soaking up the fantastic experience of being a student success mentor in the library for two years now. Beyond the valuable professional and personal growth, this role has been a hands-on journey into the wealth of resources our library offers. From using the extensive course reserves with textbooks to navigating how to do citations easily for my papers with the help of YUL’s research assistance – it's been a game-changer for my academics.
Ever wondered where the quietest and conversation-friendly place can coexist? Welcome to the library – a vibrant mix of age-old archives and cutting-edge tech. It's like a small world of its own, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. From the Scott Library to Bronfman Business Library to the Steacie Library and Glendon’s Frost Library, there's always something for everyone here, whether you're into the classic or the contemporary. Explore the diverse services and spaces we have just for you below, and don't forget to follow us on social media to stay in the loop. Let's make your library experience as awesome as mine!
