More Mardigian Library Hours

The goals of the Mardigian Library collection include:

Responding to the curricular and research needs of students, and providing material that helps students broaden viewpoints
Responding to faculty needs for instructional support and encouraging faculty input to the selection process through a system of discipline liaisons
Maintaining a collection that provides current material, in a variety of formats, in the subject areas covered by the curriculum
Providing access to material that we do not own through cooperative buying and interlibrary loan
Spending funds in a timely fashion as well as showing awareness of financial constraints and fiscal responsibility
Showing accountability by adherence to the collection policy
