Through the selection, organization, and
dissemination of information, the Library supports the academic and vocational programs of
the College. It seeks to fill the information needs of its user community by developing a
conceptually coherent and rational collection of print and nonprint materials which
support the School's teaching and research functions.
To fulfill this mission, the Library faculty
participate in the development and review of the curriculum and work closely with teaching
faculty and students to analyze their curricular, research and recreational interests.
Staff also teach the bibliographic structure of knowledge and the means of gaining access
to that knowledge, explore and implement new technology to expand and improve information
resources and services, and test new ways to extend service to the broader community. The
Library encourages the formation of cooperative programs and arrangements with other
libraries through networking and consortia to share ever-expanding information resources.
In all of its activity, the Library seeks to support the designated
programs of the College and to respond to the unique information demands
generated by the College mission.
