19 OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND PRESS
GOAL 2: ENRICH ACADEMIC IMPACT AND
EDUCATIONAL PROSPERITY
OSU Libraries and Press will deliver a specialized educational experience
focused on information literacy, the research process, and competency
using tools for doing research. The educational experience will
contribute to the growth and educational prosperity of Oregon State
University students. We will accomplish this by maintaining a rigorous
focus on academic excellence and overall student success. By providing
enhanced educational opportunities shaped by the University’s learning
goals and students’ readiness, experiences, and aspirations, we will
prepare students to assume a meaningful role in the global community.
The evolving face of student and faculty populations, the staggering
changes to educational delivery models, the growing need to bridge
learning gaps of incoming student populations, and the fundamental
demand for information literacy exerts new pressures on delivery
of higher education. To prepare Oregon State University students
for academic and workplace success, we will provide educational
offerings that improve critical thinking, scholarly communication, data
management, and engagement with the research enterprise—skills
that are critical to student success. We will embed ourselves into the
curriculum and initiate University-wide conversations about the future
of learning, contributing to a more robust learning environment across
campus.
