Georgia Southern Libraries Mission Statement

The University Libraries support Georgia Southern University's mission by providing access to information, collections, and services designed to meet the scholarly needs of the University and its diverse community. The Libraries advance independent lifelong learning, information literacy, intellectual and creative discovery, and student success. We foster a welcoming and innovative learning environment, both physically and virtually, for research, collaboration, and preservation of resources. 

The Georgia Southern University Libraries uphold the Intellectual Freedom Principles for Academic Libraries as approved by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL).
