• Provide professionally qualified librarians and skilled technical staff who support the use of information in learning;
• Administer fair and objective service policies to all populations, including those with special needs;
• Provide assistance and access to collections and services for persons with special needs;

• Provide quality instructional services and programs in the use of information resources and in support of the college's curriculum;
• Provide a safe, clean, well-maintained library with enough space and resources (including books, periodicals, electronic databases, audiovisual materials, wireless network, networked computers, copiers, printers, audiovisual equipment, furniture, and individual and group study areas) so that library users can pursue their academic or personal goals, assessed by comparisons with similar libraries and with national standards.
