Welcome Message

All the Library staff members had a retreat in July 2012 to develop a 3-year strategic plan for 2012-2015.  We identified 10 strategic directions with new initiatives for the coming years.  Looking back after one year's implementation, we have accomplished a good deal in each of these areas.

The Library had a smooth transition to 334, with over 2 million user traffic recorded at the exit gates.  Electronic resources have been further strengthened.  The Learning Commons opening for 24 hours made it an even more popular place.
 
The number of information literacy attendees was at record high.  The University also received donations to name the Learning Commons and the Special Collections Gallery.  Below is a summary of major initiatives with fruitful outcomes.
