Welcome to those stepping into an academic library for the first time: it is massive and it can be intimidating but this is YOUR space. Welcome returning students – we hope you’re feeling refreshed! Welcome people of Yorkshire. Welcome visitors to the Borthwick, ready to get hands-on with 1,000 years worth of history in our archives. Welcome 3rd years who haven’t really been to the library much before but need to turn your 2:2 into a 2:1 sharpish; no judgement here. Welcome taught postgrads whose dissertations will be NICHE; we’ll support you any way we can. Welcome children of students, here to use the Family Study Room. Welcome watcher of the Entourage Season 1 boxset we inexplicably have in our audiovisual collection. Welcome people who love the Burton because it is Silent. Welcome people who love the Fairhurst because it isn’t. Welcome new academic, having a little look to see if we already stock your books. Welcome to the explorers of augmented and virtual realities in our Creativity Lab. Welcome first member of your family to go to University, you’ll be brilliant. Welcome to York everyone, and welcome to the Library.
Our hyper-local, mega-specific, extremely niche personal welcome screen is what greets new students and staff as they enter our library...
