HÂþ»­

This winter, the HÂþ»­ University Libraries created a new strategic alignment plan, Vision 2015. Developed by a task force of librarians from each of the five HÂþ»­ libraries, Vision 2015 aligns the libraries’ goals with HÂþ»­ University’s strategic plan, while also addressing the major trends in libraries today.

In addition to the task force, all 134 members of the HÂþ»­ Libraries’ staff participated in discussions that contributed content to the plan, making Vision 2015 a true feat of collaboration.

Now, we’d like you, the HÂþ»­ community, to give us your thoughts on the plan while it is in draft form. The HÂþ»­ Libraries serve students, faculty and staff, and all members of the HÂþ»­ community are important stakeholders in the future direction of the Libraries. By contributing feedback, you are ensuring that the goals of the Libraries reflect the needs of the HÂþ»­ community. This plan will take the HÂþ»­ Libraries into 2015, informing all we will do. Your comments will also inform our planning in a year or two when we begin to create a new plan to align with the new strategic plan for HÂþ»­ University.

and provide us with comments by June 30. We appreciate your participation in this process to guide your HÂþ»­ Libraries.  Please send comments to the University Librarian at donna.bourne-tyson@dal.ca or call 494-4089 if you would like to discuss anything in the plan further.  Thank you!
