25 OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND PRESS
GOAL 4: SUSTAIN AN INTENTIONAL AND
INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATION
With communities of users that are constantly evolving and diversifying,
OSU Libraries and Press will strive to reflect our users’ diversity while
building a culture of excellence and civility.
We will respond to our stakeholders’ needs, prepare ourselves for new
roles and be accountable to those who support us. We will rigorously
gather, analyze, and synthesize evidence about what we do and
what our users do and use that evidence to make clear decisions and
confidently tell our story. We will communicate internally and externally:
why and how we collect evidence, how we use it to inform decisions,
and what it shows about our impact. This intentional process will allow
us to sustain a culture that is transparent, respectful, innovative, and
inclusive.
