About the Library
Mission
The National University Library System provides the National University System community with access to affordable, quality resources and relevant information literacy skills, expediting their integration into the community of lifelong learners.
Vision
The Library will create an information-literate community through a state-of-the-art instructional program.
The Library will purchase the electronic and print resources needed by its community of scholars and students, or provide quick access to what it does not own.
The Library will be proactive and creative in reaching out, in order to anticipate and respond to community needs for resources, programs, and services.
The Library will be a customer-driven organization, constantly inviting feedback, measuring quality, and making appropriate adjustments.
The Library will foster learning among its staff, enabling staff to become as skilled and successful as possible.
The Library will provide for its community the most up-to-date technology possible for the delivery of information resources.
