A core mission for each member institution is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for both academic and lifelong success. Through its shared resources and programs, the Alliance seeks to contribute to that mission by facilitating students' equitable access to, and efficient use of, information resources as both consumers and creators. |
Goals
- Contribute to students’ ability to navigate an information-rich environment as literate information users and creators.
- Create, disseminate, and preserve the information resources needed to enhance student learning, scholarship, and creative activities.
- Reduce student financial pressures by promoting and supporting open and affordable resources.
