Mission Statement:

    The library’s mission is to support the University’s mission in the pursuit of academic, instructional, and institutional excellence (namely, “to educate students effectively and efficiently for employment in high-need career fields and to provide the graduates with viable employment assistance in locating positions commensurate with their Sullivan University education.”). In fulfilling its support mission, the library endeavors:
a. To select materials - based upon faculty input augmented by traditional library acquisition methodologies and established professional bibliographies (such as both the AACP Basic Resources and the AACP Core Journals lists), and to provide user-friendly access to basic and supplementary information sources materials, regardless of format, for each undergraduate, and graduate (including College of Pharmacy), curricular and general education discipline.
b. To organize library collections in the most intuitively retrievable manner; and, to maintain the respective collections in order to insure currency and optimal library support to the University community.
c. To maintain the accuracy and currency of the library web page, which serves both as a location for remote access to library digital database and archival collections and e-resources; and, for promotion/marketing library resources and services;
d. To interpret the collection and to provide formal (e. g., via the First Year Experience [FYE 101] library program) and informal library instruction to users of the various library collections/resources; and, to provide library referrals, when needed, to information collections/resources located elsewhere.
e. To provide a well-trained, knowledgeable, and highly service-oriented library staff capable of anticipating, addressing, and exploring the information needs of the University community.
f. To strive to achieve both a physical and psychological environment conducive to student learning, acquisition of new abilities and skills, and inculcation of course competencies. The physical environment should be clean, attractive, and pleasant, and should provide access to amenities including: smart classrooms, appropriate furniture and equipment, and, adequate computer hardware and software. The psychological environment should be friendly, inviting, and pleasant, and reflect the concern of library staff for student informational, bibliographic, and database needs.
g. To cooperate with Sullivan University System, Inc., libraries - and with extramural libraries, preceptors, et al., in matters of resource-sharing, training, and the exploitation and optimization of other mission-relevant opportunities.
