In order to contribute effectively to the University's research and educational mission and to successfully achieve the Library's unique mission, each Collaborative will focus on a set of user-centered 'core activities'. Each Collaborative will work with members of our user community and with other Library Collaboratives to achieve its mission. The SRC will assess the information needs of users in the University's academic fields of research and study, understanding the scope of each discipline, placing these needs in the context of the broader discipline, while recognizing the inter-relationships between and among fields. Users have increased and seamless intellectual access, knowledge organization, and sophisticated bibliographic tools for local, regional, national, and international information resources.
Users receive in-depth information consultation services from subject experts.
Effective partnerships and interactive relationships between Library staff, faculty members, and other academic partners are formed and built to meet users' needs. Allocation of Library resources is more flexible in responding to the research needs of each discipline.
