Strategic Goals and action items for 2010-11 for the libraries webpage

Welcome

 

This Guide contains the UWM Libraries Strategic Goals and Action Plan for 2010-11.  The five top level Strategic Goals, carried forward from our comprehensive 2007-10 Strategic Plan, reflect our vision and support our mission which in turn is shaped by current university initiatives.  Our broad strategic themes reflect the Libraries’ vital partnership with the University by promoting teaching, learning and research.  The resources and services provided by the Libraries continue to be strengthened through staff collaboration and our ongoing commitment to our users.

The Libraries' five Strategic Goals are linked to broader strategic themes that are in concert with current university initiatives and are detailed on the tabs across the top of this page.

GOAL 1.  Partnerships, Globalization, & Communication 

GOAL 2.  User Experience, Online Access, & Streamlining 

GOAL 3.  Enhanced Spaces and Access 

GOAL 4.  Growth and Stewardship 

GOAL 5.  Diversity and Expertise 

We welcome feedback from the UWM community on our Strategic Plan and related initiatives.
