Like systemwide and campus administrations, the UC’s Council of University Librarians has been actively engaged in visualizing pathways forward even in a time of diminished resources. A number of options have been examined and some have already been launched. I thought you might be interested in the document published in September that is now bearing fruit.

Vision. In direct support of the UC missions of instruction, research, public service, and patient care, the University of California Libraries will be leaders in providing and promoting information resources and services to UC faculty, students and staff and the communities they serve, when, where and how they want them.
