Guiding Principles

Tommaney Library Mission and Goals

The Tommaney Library puts student success first by providing a culturally-informed space for the discovery, collaboration, and creation of information and ideas. The Library partners with the Haskell faculty and learning community in developing information literate learners and leaders within our Indigenous communities and the world.

 Tommaney Library's goals are to:

  1. Honor Indigenous Knowledges while upholding professional guidelines, standards, and frameworks of librarianship, intellectual property and values, user privacy and confidentiality, and user-centered service.

  2. Ensure access to collections sufficient in quality, depth, diversity, format and currency to support the learning, research, and creation of our tribal and global university.

  3. Serve as the cultural and information commons where users interact with ideas in both physical and virtual environments to expand learning and facilitate creation of new knowledge in various literacies.

  4. Ensure university compliance to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and  Federal Housing Administration (FHA) guidelines by supporting the Student Accessibility Support Services.
