Library Policies

Mission

Plough Library’s mission is to provide collections, services, and inclusive spaces to encourage learning, teaching, and research for the entire CBU community, in line with our LaSallian values of faith, service, and community.

The Student Advisory Board is charged with aiding the library staff in fulfilling that mission. The goal of the Student Advisory Board is to provide a communication link between students and library staff and to act as a sounding board for proposed changes. The Student Advisory Board makes recommendations to library staff on how they can better support students.

Responsibilities

The Student Advisory board will work to improve the library’s facilities and services, in concert with the staff. We will provide a student perspective on issues and activities that concern the library. Students must have the ability to be open-minded, work well in a team environment, offer constructive feedback, be willing to come to meetings with ideas, and be interested in improving the library.
