Kraemer Family Library Mission Statement

 Vision

The library is a center of learning, connecting people and their diverse information needs
with the resources, services and technology that advance intellectual investigation.

Mission

The Kraemer Library’s mission is to provide information services, sources, and instructional
support services that are essential to the teaching, research, and service mission of the
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.  To accomplish this mission, we will:

• Provide a learner-focused information literacy instructional program that fosters self-sufficiency
  in finding, selecting, evaluating and using information.

• Provide collections and access to collections of print, non-print and electronic library resources
  with a diversity of perspectives.
• Collaborate with the campus and system and cultivate strong partnerships with the broader
  information community. 
• Provide and maintain a library facility and infrastructure which is conducive to scholarship,
  research, and serious study.

 Core Values

• Student success is paramount to our services and collections and is key to our success. 
• We commit to serving others with respect and to anticipating, understanding and
  responding to their information needs.
• We support innovation, experimentation and risk-taking in our effort to maximize our provision
  of information access and services.
• We believe in and uphold the principles of intellectual freedom including the freedom to read,
  to learn, to discover and the free exchange of ideas.
