Principles for Re-envisioning Library Services
- Foster an environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, excellence, collective identity, and sharing best practices.
- Examine all areas and programs with an open mind, questioning assumptions, anticipating future directions as they are being shaped on campus and beyond, and looking for opportunities for transformative change.
- Attend to the user experience holistically, focusing on coherence and seamlessness.
- Ensure equity of access across disciplines.
- Identify priorities and design service models predicated on documented faculty, student, and campus needs as informed by data; allocate resources accordingly to maintain the facilities, tools, and services needed by faculty and students to succeed.
- Maximize support for the 24-hour needs of a distributed learning community, including further development of online collections and services in all academic disciplines.
- Emphasize efficient use of resources and staff – leveraging campus-wide and system-wide expertise, standardizing and automating processes when effective, and consolidating redundant effort.
- Explore increased subject affinities – within academic programs, research areas, and interdisciplinary connections – for potential consolidations of collections and services, while enhancing the caliber of collections and library liaison engagement with disciplines.
- Support the building of excellent collections by considering the subject expertise and services required to meet this goal.
- Be transparent and inclusive about discussion, approval, and implementation both within the Library and with campus stakeholders.
