preserves, and keeps track of resources.”3. Gateway- “The library serves as a starting point or ‘gateway’ for locating information for
faculty research.”4. Research- “The library provides active support that helps increase the productivity of faculty
research and scholarship.”5. Teaching- “The library supports and facilitates faculty teaching activities.”6. Information Lit.- “The library helps undergraduates develop research, critical analysis, and
