Tisch Library Mission Statement


Tisch Library supports the mission of Tufts University in providing students with the knowledge and skills for them to grow as intellectually curious and critically involved members of society with a lifelong commitment to learning. The library is a partner in the educational and research programs of the School of Arts & Sciences and the School of Engineering: it selects, organizes, maintains, preserves, and provides access to resources in all formats necessary to the support of Tufts' educational mission. The library acts as a gateway and contributor to networked information in and outside of Tufts. Tisch Library educates its users to identify, retrieve, use and evaluate resources in an effective manner. The library collaborates with other units at the University and participates in cooperative programs with other institutions to provide high quality resources and services to its users. Tisch Library is user-centered and responds to users' changing needs by continually evaluating their expectations and realigning services to better meet those needs. In addition, the library actively promotes its collections and services to the Tufts community.
