Mission

 

The Cosumnes River College Library supports the learning, instruction, and information needs of a diverse student population, faculty, and staff.

Values

In the spirit of the American Library Association's Bill of Rights, we value providing the CRC community of students, faculty, and staff with open and equitable access to information.

We value collaboration with our colleagues to support all disciplines, programs, and viewpoints by selecting the most accurate, fair, diverse, relevant, comprehensive, and current sources available in a variety of formats.

Vision

The Library's goal is to provide students with the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. These Information Competency skills are essential to student success in educational endeavors, careers, and as lifelong information consumers and creators.
