Of a Library's Mission

Spalding University Library supports in full the mission of its parent institution.  The Library provides--

• library services to support the University's educational, social, and cultural programs;
• a collection that is effectively organized and administered;
• access to information and materials needed to support the curriculum, faculty research, and general interests of the University community, wherever this information may be located;
• space for student and faculty research and for the library staff to work efficiently;
• a competent staff to serve the needs of its patrons;
• and adequate fiscal resources to accomplish its mission.

In these and all matters and services, the library shall reflect the highest standards of professional librarianship.
