2. To provide quality reference service by assisting and instructing library users in identifying, locating, evaluating and using information resources.

3. To teach classes that prepare students to retrieve and evaluate information for their college studies as well as for lifelong learning.

4. To provide access to resources with a broad range of perspectives, viewpoints, and approaches in keeping with the College's commitment to a climate of diversity.

5. To maintain an attractive library with an environment conducive to study and research.

6. To maintain a capable and highly skilled staff through systematic programs of career development and effective utilization of individual talents.

7. To promote the use of the library and information resources.

MOVIE AND DISCUSSION – FEBRUARY 12
Women’s and Gender Studies is pleased to present the movie Under the Same Moon, with a discussion
following the viewing on Thursday, February 12 at 7PM in the Red Dragon Theater, Hunt College
Union. Karina Céspedes will introduce the film and lead the discussion. This film dramatizes the
countless Mexican families who leave their children behind, and sneak across the border to jobs that
offer them much more income in comparison with what they make in their own country. All are invited to
attend.

The next Red Dragon Rendezvous is scheduled for Monday, February 16 from 8:30-10AM, in
the International Lounge, Hunt College Union. Enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or other beverage,
and pastries, and informally interact, connect and meet members of the Campus Community
(faculty, staff and students). All are invited to attend.

The Center for Social Responsibility and Community (CSRC) is sponsoring American Red Cross Blood
Drives at the Hunt College Union Ballroom on Monday & Tuesday, February 16 & 17, from 12noon

student if we reach our goal of 372 pints for this academic year. Faculty and staff are invited to sign up
to donate blood as well. Donors may register during lunch and dinner hours at Mills or Wilsbach each
day Monday-Friday, February 9-13, or by phoning a CSRC Student Coordinator at x2098 to schedule
