Libraries' Instructional Mission
The instructional
mission of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries, in
the spirit of the University's teaching mission and in collaboration
with other faculty, is to create, promote, and evaluate programs
and services to empower the University community to:
- Develop
qualities such as creativity, curiosity, and patience that
enable them to effectively navigate information organized
in a variety of ways.
- Identify
and use tools, skills, and mechanisms appropriate to find
needed information.
- Evaluate
information and understand the significance of its context.
- Communicate
and use information effectively.
These critical
thinking skills, or information literacies, are crucial for
life-long learning in an electronic age.
