MISSION STATEMENT

The Stanley Mark Dennis Veterinary Library strives to be the intellectual center of the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The mission of the Library is to support the teaching, learning and service all members of the university community. Primarily focusing on enabling teaching, the library is the foremost means through which students and faculty gain access to the universe of organized knowledge. In enabling such access, the library performs a unique and indispensable function in the teaching-learning continuum, but also a source of institutional perspective for the university.

Beyond the well-established role of the library (that is, to select, acquire, organize, make accessible, and preserve information resources, as well as instruct users in its use), the library assumes additional institutional roles in support of the academic activities of the institution.

The mission is basically three fold:

To develop a collection of books and journals that will meet the information needs of the students and faculty.

To provide reference services to support the information needs of students and faculty.

To provide a facility and environment that promotes studying and conducting library research.
