Mission Statement:

The library's instruction mission is to enhance learning and integrate information competency into the curriculum. Library staff partner with faculty and other instructors to help all members of the academic community to find their way into collections, and to master research techniques and methods. In a rapidly changing information and education environment, we help them learn the skills needed to  find, read, evaluate, and use complex resources from the Cornell University Library and beyond, in a confident, efficient, and ethical fashion.

Excerpt from Reaccreditation Standard 11:
"....Several 
 
 skills, 
 
 collectively 
 
 referred 
 
 to 
 
 as 
 
 "information 
 
 literacy," 
 
 apply 
 
 to 
 
 all 
 
 disciplines 
 
 in 
 
 an 
 
 institution's 
 
 curricula. 
 
 These 
 
 skills 
 
 relate 
 
 to 
 
 a 
 
 student's 
 
 competency 
 
 in 
 
 acquiring 
 
 and 
 
 processing 
 
 information 
 
 in 
 
 the 
 
 search 
 
 for 
 
 understanding, 
 
 whether 
 
 that 
 
 information 
 
 is 
 
 sought 
 
 in 
 
 or 
 
 through 
 
 the 
 
 facilities 
 
 of 
 
 a 
 
 library, 
 
 through 
 
 practica, 
 
 as 
 
 a 
 
 result 
 
 of 
 
 field 
 
 experiments, 
 
 by 
 
 communication 
 
 with 
 
 experts 
 
 in 
 
 professional 
 
 communities, 
 
 or 
 
 by 
 
 other 
 
 means. 
 
 Therefore, 
 
 information 
 
 literacy 
 
 is 
 
 an 
 
 essential 
 
 component 
 
 of 
 
 any 
 
 educational 
 
 program 
 
 at 
 
 the 
 
 graduate 
 
 or 
 
 undergraduate 
 
 levels.



These 
 
 skills 
 
 include 
 
 the 
 
 ability 
 
 to:



• 
 
 determine 
 
 the 
 
 nature 
 
 and 
 
 extent 
 
 of 
 
 needed 
 
 information;



 • 
 
 access 
 
 information 
 
 effectively 
 
 and 
 
 efficiently



 • 
 
 evaluate 
 
 critically 
 
 the 
 
 sources 
 
 and 
 
 content 
 
 of 
 
 information



 • 
 
 incorporate 
 
 selected 
 
 information 
 
 in 
 
 the 
 
 learner's 
 
 knowledge 
 
 base 
 
 and 
 
 value 
 
 system;



 • 
 
 use 
 
 information 
 
 effectively 
 
 to 
 
 accomplish 
 
 a 
 
 specific 
 
 purpose;



 • 
 
 understand 
 
 the 
 
 economic, 
 
 legal 
 
 and 
 
 social 
 
 issues 
 
 surrounding 
 
 the 
 
 use 
 
 of 
 
 information 
 
 and 
 
 information 
 
 technology; 
 
 and



 • 
 
 observe 
 
 laws, 
 
 regulations, 
 
 and 
 
 institutional 
 
 policies 
 
 related 
 
 to 
 
 the 
 
 access 
 
 and 
 
 use 
 
 of 
 
 information.



Closely 
 
 tied 
 
 to 
 
 information 
 
 literacy 
 
 is 
 
 the 
 
 need 
 
 for 
 
 technological 
 
 competency 
 
 at 
 
 all 
 
 levels 
 
 within 
 
 an 
 
 institution 
 
 and 
 
 its 
 
 curricula. 
 
 .... 
 
 institutions 
 
 should 
 
 provide 
 
 both 
 
 students 
 
 and 
 
 instructors 
 
 with 
 
 the 
 
 knowledge, 
 
 skills,and 
 
 tools 
 
 needed 
 
 to 
 
 use 
 
 the 
 
 information, 
 
 new 
 
 technology, 
 
 and 
 
 media 
 
 for 
 
 their 
 
 studies, 
 
 teaching, 
 
 or 
 
 research.
