Library
As the primary bibliographic and information resource for the curriculum of the
University, the library emphasizes rapid access to needed materials and information.
The library actively promotes the immediate availability of textual, numeric, and
visual resources. In its collections, information resources, instruction, and other
services, the library's emphasis is on delivering support for the curriculum and
programs of University and departments. Access to the library collections is enhanced
by end-user and librarian-mediated access to a variety of electronic information
resources. The library actively promotes the principle of equal access to intellectual
resources regardless of format for all constituencies in the campus community. The
library strives to provide access to information appropriate to each University
discipline, along with needed user instruction and support.
As an essential teaching and research facility, the library emphasizes instruction,
reference services, on site and remote access to information in print and electronic
formats, development of information literacy, and management of collections. The
library provides resources and support for the University's major functions--teaching,
research, scholarship, creative activity, and community service. The library is
located at the center of the campus in two interconnected buildings Central Library
Takatu Campus and City Campus.
