Vision

The Evans Library is dedicated to serving our community through instruction in the development of research and critical thinking skills, access to an inclusive and comprehensive collection of materials, staff who support active learning, and an environment that encourages collaboration, diversity, and discovery in the pursuit of knowledge. This we do through a variety of partnerships: on-campus, in Fulton & Montgomery counties, and with SUNY as well as relationships statewide, national and international.

Values

In concert with the College's values, the Evans Library has identified the following as core library values:

  • To Empower Learning & Facilitate Teaching
  • To Offer User-Centered Service
  • To Maintain quality collections
  • To Provide Accessible Resources
  • To Encourage a respectful learning environment
  • To Forge additional academic partnerships
  • To foster an appreciation for the written word and knowledge in its varied formats

It is incumbent upon the Evans Library to adopt learning outcomes that provide a roadmap by which library actions and activities are assessed. These can be found in the statement on the Information Literate student, who will be able to:

  1. Determine the need for information
  2. Access sources of information
  3. Evaluate information
  4. Use Appropriate information
  5. Maintain ethical and legal standards when using information
