Strategic Directions 2021
Mission/Vision
The UCLA Library creates a vibrant nexus of ideas, collections, expertise, and spaces in which users illuminate solutions for local and global challenges. We constantly evolve to advance UCLA’s research, education, and public service mission by empowering and inspiring communities of scholars and learners to discover, access, create, share, and preserve knowledge.
Organizational Values
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We seek to learn about, identify, and address current and historical inequities across our communities of practice, collections, programs, and policies to construct a collaborative culture that models reparative justice, diversity, inclusion, and broadens access to and preservation of knowledge.
Inspired Excellence
We attract, develop, and partner with people and organizations that drive transformation and progress within the Library, across campus, and among academic and research libraries.
Accountability
We consistently deliver on our commitments in order to build trust among our staff, users, and partners. We use data-informed decision-making to develop and adapt our services, content, and technologies to support teaching and research, enabling our communities of scholars and learners to innovate and create.
Community-Centered Solutions
We listen to our UCLA communities and respond with compassion in order to gain understanding, build trust, and evolve human-centered solutions that advance UCLA’s research, education, and public service mission.
Sustainability
We consider the impact of our decisions and actions on future generations of Californians and prioritize approaches that are fiscally and ethically responsible.
