The Library and its Mission Vogel Library s mission is to educate information-literate lifelong learners. It is the focus of all we do. Interlibrary loan gives students access to a world of materials and ideas. Wartburg librarians are partners with classroom faculty in the college s educational enterprise. Our information literacy expertise complements the subject specializations of classroom faculty to create an integrated learning environment for students.
Information literacy is our foundation.
In keeping with the standards, we emphasize the teaching of enduring concepts, not skills that obsolesce with changes in the next version of familiar software. Producing lifelong learners is our objective. We intend to instill and reinforce in our students the abilities and habits of information-literate lifelong learning. To evaluate and improve our performance, we continually create assessments that measure the capability of our alumni and current students in this area. The skills and knowledge we teach make Wartburg College graduates the future leaders and responsible citizens our country needs.
