使命宣言

大学图书馆 is an academic support unit of the University of Evansville. It is composed of the Library and the 大学档案馆.

大学图书馆 assumes a prominent collaborative role in the pursuit of academic excellence at the University of Evansville. Its contribution to this pursuit is reflected not only in the provision of information resources and services which underwrite the University's instructional programs, 研究努力, 以及社区服务, but also in its participation in the academic planning process and a commitment to serve in a leadership role among its peers.

The primary mission of 大学图书馆 is to assure access to the body of recorded knowledge and information required to support the instructional programs for the University, to afford interpretation of and instruction in the effective utilization of information sources, and to provide the physical resources required for access and use. Support of faculty 研究努力 and the information needs of the public at large which are peripheral to the curriculum assume a subsidiary position within the 库' mission. This statement of mission correlates with the University's mission and goals in which the advancement of learning and scholarship within the liberal arts and sciences is the principal theme.
