Vision

The vision of the Information Literacy Program is for each CSUSM graduate to research beyond Google.

Mission

The mission of the Information Literacy Program is to provide each CSUSM student with an opportunity to become information literate.

Values

Information literacy is more than teaching students how to use the library. An information literate person is a lifelong learner who is able to find, evaluate, and use information effectively to think critically and make informed decisions.  As Library faculty, we are active partners with disciplinary faculty in developing information literate students because we are experts in information seeking behaviors, the structure and organization of information, and how information is evaluated.
