04 Report of the University Librarian to the Senate

UBC recognizes that its staff - librar-ians, management & professional staff, support staff and student staff - are its most important resource in supporting the research and learning needs of the UBC community. The Library is commit-ted to attracting and retaining excellent staff at all levels, and to providing them with the training and development they need to fulfil their responsibilities. It is also committed to providing for its users the physical facilities conducive to an effective learning and study environ-ment and to maintaining and upgrad-ing these. Through a series of faculty and departmental advisory committees, through periodic surveys and through an online feedback system, the Library listens and responds to the concerns of its primary users - the students, faculty and staff of UBC.

UBC Library is committed to supporting the learning and research

needs of its users through the acquisition of information resources and

ensuring access to resources beyond the campus. It provides instruction

and training to help them develop the information seeking and critical

thinking skills required to succeed in their studies and as members of a

knowledge intensive society.

UBC Library is committed to support-ing the learning and research needs of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff. It does so through the acquisition, provision and preservation of information resources locally, in print, electronic and other formats, and through access to informa-tion resources beyond the campus. It provides instruction and training (e.g. individual, group, Web-based) to help students develop the information seek-ing and critical thinking skills required to succeed in their studies and as members of a knowledge intensive society. It works with faculty, students and staff to find, develop and effectively use the infor-mation resources they require for the creation and transmission of knowledge. In addition, the Library provides the infrastructure and technology to sup-port and deliver information resources, it provides bibliographic access to and information about them through its online catalogue and other indexes, and it manages the physical flow of resources to and from Library users, whether on campus or at a distance.

Future Directions

futuredirections

During 2005/06, the Library introduced a number of major changes,

all with the intent of improving services and resources for the

Library’s community of users. Undoubtedly, the next year will bring

more of the same.

Vision Statement: UBC Library will be a provincial, national and inter-national leader in the development, provision and delivery of outstanding information resources and services that are essential to learning, research and the creation of knowledge at UBC and beyond.
