The mission of the Proctor Library is to support and enhance the instructional and educational mission of Flagler College by providing quality library materials, services and instruction, as well as a library facility that supports and enhances the College’s learning culture. The Library will provide efficient access to print, non-print and electronic resources and other technological library services and tools that support the curricular, research, and overall learning needs of the students, faculty and staff, and the Library will collaborate with faculty and others to help students and other users become information literate individuals who will be lifelong learners who can grow in their career and be productive citizens.
The vision of the Proctor Library is to be a full “learning partner” closely collaborating with the students, faculty and staff of Flagler College to achieve the goal of effective learning, not in a support role as in the past but rather as an essential and critical resource for active student learning as well as “lifelong learning” for the entire College community. The Library is to be evident in two forms. The first is as a “virtual library” providing high quality content and technologically accessible information resources to the College community no matter where they are located, whether in the Library or in any remote location, and in a manner that meets the learning style of the current “millennial” generation learner. The second is as a “library place” – a centralized learning facility where students can gather comfortably in order to: access and explore information drawn from a full variety of formats; analyze this information singly or in group discussions; and produce quality presentations and similar products that demonstrate their learning outcomes within a service-rich, comfortable learning environment.
