Agenda for Tomorrow
2001 - 2004
INTRODUCTION AND GUIDE
While continuing to build on the ongoing activities and services as outlined in
Agenda for Tomorrow, we recognize the need to allocate scarce resources to those
outcomes that will derive greatest benefit and value.
As the Libraries moves forward over the next three years toward creating the library
of the future and becoming a full partner in teaching, research and learning at the
University of Manitoba, we must:
a) continue our focus of providing direct physical access to collections/
information resources, as we have done in the past,
b) maintain cost-effective client services as we address the information
crisis caused by the inflationary cost of materials,
c) be pro-active in increasing revenue and support through fundraising,
partnerships and other innovative activities to develop the Libraries,
d) take advantage of emerging new information technologies in
automating library services and adopting new concepts of access and
ownership,
e) motivate and develop staff in a culture of learning, innovation and
accountability, and
f) ensure that our facilities are kept up-to-date.
Accordingly, Agenda for Tomorrow, 2001–2004 is organized under seven Areas
of Focus reflecting the above.

Each Area of Focus has related Goals followed by Outcomes which indicate when
the Goal would be met and by Strategies - representative examples of the methods
by which the Outcome would be achieved. The order of the Areas of Focus does not
imply a level of priority among them; all are important to the successful
achievement of the Libraries’ Mission. However, the Goals and Outcomes (i.e., “as
evidenced by the following Outcomes:”) within each Area of Focus are prioritized.

MISSION
The Libraries, as an essential partner in the Mission of the
University of Manitoba, provides access to knowledge in
support of the University's teaching, research and
community service programs.
VISION
The Libraries will be recognized as an essential resource
for information within the University and the province of

Agenda for Tomorrow, 2001-2004 Page 4
PRINCIPLES
Everything we do is guided by the following Principles:
1. Scholarly and government information is a public good and must be available
free of marketing bias, commercial bias and free of cost to students, faculty and
staff at the University of Manitoba. Some auxiliary services should be available
on a cost-recovery basis.
2. As an academic library, it is our responsibility to ensure we have the capability
for the dissemination and preservation of information and knowledge regardless
of format.
3. As an academic library we are the intellectual commons for the University
community where people and ideas interact in both real and virtual
environments to expand learning and facilitate the creation of new knowledge.
VALUES
We are committed to building upon the following organizational values:
i Innovation: We foster creative and innovative responses to meet client needs.
i Quality: We strive for excellence in collections/information resources,
programs and services.
i Accountability: Operating within a complex environment, the Libraries is an
accountable employer and academic unit, and Libraries’ staff are accountable
service providers.
i Collaboration: We develop strategic partnerships within the University, as
well as with other universities and libraries, the professions, government,
business and other communities.
i Involvement: We encourage and support the development of knowledgeable
and motivated staff, in a climate of openness and responsiveness.
i Unity and Diversity: We value diversity in staff, clients, services and
information resources while encouraging the achievement of common goals.
