We are a vital component of the University's commitment to excellence in instruction, innovation in research and scholarship, and dedication in public service. We are a unique resource for the state of Vermont and its people.
Our Vision
The University of Vermont Libraries will be northern New England's premier public research library, offering extensive information resources particularly in the liberal arts, health and life sciences, and in the study of the environment. We will be educational leaders in addressing the information needs of our dynamic learning communities, and in the formation and promulgation of sound informaiton practices and policies. As the primary steward of materials by and about Vermont, we will employ emerging technologies to make widely available our unique cultural and political heritage collections. We will promote understanding of and responses to changing scholarly and scientific communication patterns. The Libraries' working environments for faculty, staff, students, and visitors will reflect our core values of diversity, respect, integrity, service, creativity, quality and the inherent joy of learning.
