Mission Statement

Within the mission of Lewis & Clark College, the Aubrey R. Watzek Library will provide information services, resources, and instruction in support of the curricular, research, intellectual, and administrative activities and needs of the College.

The Watzek Library carries out this mission through collecting, maintaining, preserving, and providing access to resources that support scholarly inquiry, research, and intellectual exploration consistent with the programs of the College. The Library assists students, faculty, and staff in the application of these information resources in their scholarly endeavors. The Library seeks to utilize technology in the most effective way to offer these resources and services, and works collaboratively with other libraries and institutions to support the resource and service needs of the College community in a fiscally responsible manner.
