This strategic plan outlines the direction for the University of Southern Maine's Libraries & Learning, aiming to foster engaged and impactful teaching, research, and learning while cultivating empowered users of ideas and information. The plan is organized around three strategic pillars: 'People' (fostering community, expertise, and well-being), 'Purpose' (driving academic opportunities and information empowerment), and 'Place' (optimizing dynamic environments for engagement and innovation). It seeks to support collaborative teaching and learning through welcoming, equitable, and accessible resources and services.
