The mission of the Muir Library/Media Center adapted from Information
Power, Building Partnerships for Learning, (1998) Chicago: American Library
Association is as follows.
Muir library supports both academic and recreational reading. The mission of
the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective
users of ideas and information. This mission is accomplished :
· by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
· by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest
in reading, viewing, listening, and using information and ideas
· by working with other educators to design learning strategies
to meet the needs of individual students
Learning activities may include:
· activities that develop cognitive strategies for
1. selecting,
2. retrieving,
3. analyzing,
4. evaluating,
5. synthesizing, and
6. creating information
at all age levels and in all curriculum content area
· experiences that encourage users to become skilled creators of
information through introduction to the full range of communications media
and use of the new technology
· activities that accommodate a wide range of differences in teaching
and learning styles and in instructional methods, interests, and
capabilities
· the use of resources that represent a diversity of experiences,
opinions, and social and cultural perspectives, all of which support the
concept that intellectual freedom and access to information are prerequisite
to effective and responsible citizenship in a democracy.
