The Mission College Library supports the instructional philosophy and program of the College. The Library supports the learning needs of a diverse student population, the instructional needs of the faculty, and the information needs of the community.

 

To carry out this mission, the Library will:

 

·        Acquire and maintain a collection of print and non-print materials, and license and organize a set of electronic resources, to support, augment and supplement the college curriculum, course assignments, student success, and lifelong learning.

 

·        Provide timely access for students, faculty and staff to information resources in all appropriate formats.

 

·        Teach students critical thinking skills, including how to recognize the need for information, and how to find, evaluate and use information from a variety of sources.

 

·        Assist all members of the college and community in locating and using appropriate resources to meet their information needs.
