Libraries seek to recruit and retain well-trained and qualified staff. Staff must be provided with the tools, support, and encouragement to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. Increasingly the information user will be self-reliant and seek direct access to what is desired. Libraries strive to find the best affordable mix of traditional and emerging methods to meet the information needs of their patrons. The University Libraries fosters and supports teaching, learning and research by providing resources, access to knowledge, information, and ideas, and by providing assistance and instruction.
Service is provided in an open, receptive, and courteous manner.
Fundamental to this philosophy of service is a commitment to freedom of information and equity of access to information. The University Libraries strives for excellence in programs and services. In delivering effective and timely services to its users within its financial constraints, the University Libraries uses sound management practices and a responsive organizational structure. We encourage and support the development of a knowledgeable, versatile, and skilled staff. The University Libraries is dedicated to creating an environment characterized by ethical behavior, accountability, and honesty.
