Preserve the materials of most long-term value to the University community by integrating the recommendations of the Preservation Committee into daily operations. Undoubtedly the single most important factor for success is the library faculty and staff. Only by recruiting and retaining a superior staff can the University Libraries succeed in fulfilling its mission. The University Libraries has an obligation to provide leadership in the access and use of information, both within the University and in state, regional, and national fora. The Libraries also brings relevant issues to the attention of both the University and scholarly community at large.
Strategies Recommend that the funding of campus information services be reconceptualized.
Lead the campus in the management and provision of information access for all levels of research and study. Redefine the library by taking a statewide leadership role, emphasizing the role of librarians as people of access, not as storers of books. Lead the development of instructional and educational models and services for the state's library community. All organizations require good management and communication. The University Libraries seek improvement throughout the organization in both areas.
