| ECPI Library Mission Statement |
The ECPI Library affirms the College mission statement by providing books,
periodicals, multimedia, and online resources that support the academic programs
of the College. The Library collection is planned, organized, and maintained
to underscore the central role of information technology in the curricula. |
| The library staff orients the students to the collection and guides them
to foster inquiry, research, analysis, and critical thinking while providing
the foundation for lifelong learning. The staff promotes the use of the collection
through the online catalog, web site, pathfinders, and brochures. [excerpt
