We champion initiatives that expand the impact of and open access to UC Santa Cruz research and scholarship for a global audience.

Innovation: We apply new methods and technologies to meet the evolving needs of students and faculty.
Professionalism: We maintain high professional standards and active engagement in our field.
Assessment: We collect and evaluate quantitative and qualitative data to ensure that library collections and services are user-centered, responsive, and demonstrably add value.
