• Provide continual instruction and service to all library patrons.
• Select, purchase, organize and maintain quality library collections.
• Offer access to material and information resources regardless of format.
• Anticipate information needs in an increasingly global community.
• Teach efficent information literacy skills including critical evaluation and effective use of resources.
• Provide leadership in the use of information technology on campus.
• Promote diversity,intellectual integrity, and freedom of inquiry and expression.
