Strategic Plan

A Letter from Our Dean

I am pleased to share FSU Libraries’ Strategic Plan, including our Mission, Vision, Professional Values, Goals, and Initiatives. The Libraries are aligned with the FSU Strategic Plan, and we have designed a website so that anyone can access current information on our progress. We are committed to the students, faculty, and staff of FSU in their research, teaching, and service endeavors. Thanks to the Strategic Planning Team members under the leadership of Susannah Miller, the Associate Dean for Administration, for their thoughtful work on this process. We hope you will take time to review this website.

Sincerely ,

Gale Etschmaier
