The Ashland University Library Vision Statement
We envision a library that:
-
Provides services to a variety of clientele: diverse in skills and
expectations, non-traditional and residental, physically present and remotely
located.
- Maintains a core collection of materials suitable for a comprehensive
university and provides links to national and global resources that enhance the
core collection.
- Cultivates a physical environment, both technically and esthetically, that
encourages creativity and exploration.
- Creates an atmosphere of trust, support and encouragement among all members
of the university community.
- Encourages experimentation in library instruction and alternative library
services.
- Utilizes technological advances to open new and broader avenues of
intellectual inquiry; to improve bibliographic management and to manage an
increasingly complex and diverse universe of information.
