How we think about technology

How do you feel about technology and what you offer your students in your

library?

Vision for Technology

We envision a library that is not just a purchaser of content, but also a producer of content that is created by our students, faculty, and staff.

A Changing Mission

The library has a direct teaching mission to students centering on information literacy but also providing learning

support in ways that other departments cannot.

Changing Infrastructure

Provides access

Educates students, staff and faculty

Expands the notions of information literacy

Acts as a platform for community dialog

Redefining our role?

Assisting students in developing their own content.

Helping them recognize quality (or lack of) in sources

Moving from Books (Print or Electronic) to other forms of communication for primary content (podcasts, short films, presentations, instructional videos)
