Library Instructional Services Mission Statement

The Library is dedicated to the promotion of scholarship and research by providing all members of the University community with a comprehensive program of instruction, including lectures, demonstrations, active-learning activities, course management system modules, podcasts, videocasts, and more, tailored to meet individual and group needs at all levels. Our primary goal is the attainment of information fluency for all students, faculty, and staff at Manoa.

The Library encourages collegiality and collaboration between teaching faculty and library faculty. Teaching faculty are invited to work with library instruction faculty in designing course-related assignments that include information fluency objectives. The program incorporates a variety of teaching strategies and methodologies that reflect individual differences in learning level, style, and culture.

Library instructional services strive to meet the following learning objectives by helping students become familiar with:

how information is created and disseminated;
how to locate needed information on the Internet and in libraries;
how to determine if the information retrieved is useful, truthful, and relevant; and
how to use information ethically, and cite it in an appropriate style.
