Our Values
The University Libraries are people who:
Champion Learning
- We support learners at all levels as they gain competence in information discovery, use, and creation.
- We affirm continuous learning, participative planning and management, and robust collaboration by Libraries' faculty and staff.
- We promote ethical and equitable information systems and practices while responding to the information needs of our communities.
Create and Share Research
- We create, curate, deliver, and preserve information resources that are central to higher education, the public good, the underrepresented and marginalized voices of the state and region, and the achievement of equity and justice.
- We disseminate the work and research of UNL students, faculty, and staff.
- We generate and publish original research in library and information science and numerous related disciplinary fields.
Support Community Engagement
- We provide inclusive and welcoming environments that support exploration and discovery, enable individual and collaborative learning, reward curiosity and creativity, and promote civic engagement.
- We create healthy spaces that represent traditional and emerging library values, in which services, resources, environments, and activities support and inspire the multidisciplinary research and learning needs of students and scholars.
