Jefftine University Library Technology Statement:
The library’s technological goal is to give the university community reliable access to the Internet, as well as digital and print resources. We see technology as a way of bridging the distance between students, faculty, and knowledge. The library strives to give students the tools, both print and electronic, to succeed in their academic careers, while educating them on the best ways to evaluate, comprehend, and use such resources. Equality of access is very important to us and having technology and its devices available to students and faculty, both on and off campus, is a step towards reaching our goal. We encourage our library staff to keep on top of new trends and to find creative, inventive ways to incorporate technology next to the reliable and reputable standards in which we communicate, teach, and research. Technology benefits the university community because it gives wider access to resources that pushes student and faculty research to the next level, while also giving all members a chance to feel a part of an intellectually vibrant community no matter their location.
