The mission of Louisiana College and the mission of the Richard W. Norton Memorial Library serve to provide administrative guidance when developing and evaluating library services, programs, and resources. The two statements are to be viewed as complementary rather than competitive.
Louisiana College is a Christ-centered community committed to Academic Excellence where students are equipped for Lives of Learning, Leading, and Serving.
The Richard W. Norton Memorial Library provides technologically-enriched resources, services, and spaces to foster a community of collaborative teaching, learning, and research.
To facilitate achieving this mission, the library has established the following objectives:
Achieving success together.
Our goal is to be viewed by students and faculty as a key partner in student academic success, an aspiration which is founded in empirical study and research (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2016). We provide active, experiential learning to impart a set of transcendent lifelong learning skills, teaching students how to strategically find, critically evaluate, and ethically use information. Through its services, the library positively impacts student learning and success.
