Making Regional and Global Connections That Enhance Our Mission and Serve the People
The Libraries share and grow expertise and experience by facilitating meaningful connections within our diverse community. We engage the community with our services, welcoming and inclusive public spaces, and exhibits and events that are of broad interest on campus and beyond. To advance these priorities, we
- Preserve the legacy of the region’s diverse individuals and communities by advancing community-centered archival practices and engaging with campus and community partners to highlight cultural and regional histories through unique collections, events, and exhibits.
- Expand and develop initiatives and practices that further our role as a valued partner that empowers the UCI and greater Orange County communities to discover and preserve diverse histories and knowledge.
- Engage with partners across campus to promote the benefits of the Libraries’ programs and resources for discipline- and department-based initiatives.
- Invest in the Libraries’ innovative spaces and tools to support community engagement, career growth, entrepreneurship, and pathways to further education.
- Enrich UCI’s academic and social life through spaces, exhibitions, events, and programs that foster a sense of belonging and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
