About the Library

Strategic Plan

The Library’s strategic plan complements and extends the impact of the university’s strategic plan, “We Rise, We Defy: Transcending Borders, Transforming Lives.”

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Advancing the Library’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals and priorities is the responsibility of all library employees.

Sustainability

We encourage sustainability in the Library community - focusing on social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic feasibility in all that we do through education awareness.
