Mission

The Library is a dynamic force in the intellectual life of the campus. It is a student-centered environment that cultivates collaboration, life-long learning skills and diversity to support the University’s mission. Within a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, we enhance the student learning experience, facilitate and support research at all levels and engage the community.
