The mission of the Horrmann Library is to identify, acquire, maintain, preserve, and provide access to information and research in support of academic programs offered by the college. Library staff seek to enhance the bibliographic skills of patrons through instructions, work cooperatively with faculty to build appropriate collections in a variety of formats; adopt advances in information technology to library operations, establish and maintain cooperative agreements for resource sharing with other libraries, and encourage research and continued learning.
Our goals are to:
- Participate actively in the instructional process as a “teaching library” to promote information literacy.
- Promote understanding of the library’s research capabilities and encourage the use of its resources and services.
- Provide relevant, well-organized, and carefully selected materials for users of the library.
- Facilitate access to off-campus sources of information.
- Make the electronic resources of the library fully available to faculty and students both on and off the campus.
- Solicit and secure appropriate financial support for the continuation and expansion of library operations.
- Provide a positive, friendly, and inviting atmosphere for staff, students and faculty.
