• Provide research and instructional services that enable students, faculty and staff to effectively access and use information and technology.
• Collaborate with faculty in integrating technology into the curriculum to enhance teaching and learning.
• Provide timely, accurate, and individualized services and resources to help faculty and students attain their academic goals.
• Develop strategic partnerships in order to provide an evolving range of services to faculty, staff, and students.

• Quality, personalized services for our users with the flexibility to accommodate their individual needs.
• Informed and innovative support based on leading edge practices in the use of information and technology in teaching, learning, and research.
