Bloomington Library Faculty

/Bloomington Library Faculty


In support of the mission and goals of Indiana University, the library faculty on the Bloomington campus is dedicated to fulfilling the varied information needs of the university community by collecting, organizing, disseminating, and preserving recorded knowledge in all its forms and by providing dynamic library services based on these material resources.

The library faculty accepts the responsibility for maintaining high standards of performance and for participating in the development of library services and in the determination of the goals of the Indiana University library system.  The library faculty affirms the necessity for communication among the libraries on the Bloomington campus and throughout the library system and for consulting with the teaching and research faculties to identify and attain the objectives of those libraries.

The library faculty is committed to the concept of academic freedom and recognizes that such freedom, accompanied by responsibility, is attached to all aspects of a librarian's professional conduct.
