UTA Libraries: Reengineering for the Future

About a year and a half ago, the Libraries went through a rigorous strategic planning process involving the entire staff as well as our user community. We understood the need to build on our strengths and traditions in developing and managing print information collections and serving the needs of library users in our libraries. At the same time, we saw a future for the Libraries that would require a strong commitment to creating a digital information collection and delivering it to our users wherever and whenever they needed it. We also saw a developing role for libraries of all kinds to give users the tools they would need to find information in the digital world and to use it effectively for teaching, learning, and research. We saw an important niche for libraries to foster good citizenship in digital societies. We found our vision of the future exciting and energizing.
