Expand and Renovate Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library Posted on October 9th, 2009 by Barb Larson Taylor

Recommendation from the Academic Programs and New Initiatives Task Force:

Expand and renovate the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library to enable students to continue to engage with original research, have access to an in-depth collection, and have an effective environment in which to study.

Additional explanation:

The library continues to evolve to meet curriculum demands and student needs. The collection both grows on site and adapts to technology-mediated resources, and students’ study spaces are shifting as students collaborate and study in different ways. A modern, expanded library is essential for housing contemporary information formats and becoming a central location for intellectual and cultural growth.

This recommendation was placed in the Tangible Resources Strategic Framework Substantive Category using the language:

Expand and renovate the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library to enable students to continue to engage with original research, have access to an in-depth collection, and have an optimum environment in which to study.

This recommendation was placed is Tier 2 and is being monitored by the Provost and Dean of the College.
