JC OLIVER LIBRARY
About Us
Mission
Director's Message
The J. C. Oliver Library named for the late Dr. James Columbus Oliver is the center for information, literacy and research activities on campus. It allows us to connect all that we value in traditional library services with the possibilities of new forms of knowledge acquisition and creation. Its’ role is to improve the quality of life within our student community and develop their ability to find and use information. It recognizes that different information needs lead to different information sources.
The internet has become our primary media for library services. The Internet service provides access to thousands of full-text articles from hundreds of sources concerning education, religion, social issues, global events and issues, and science topics.
J.C. Oliver Library is dedicated to providing the highest standards in service and resources that support the college mission for excellence in learning, scholarship and service. We are committed to designing an environment that’s reader-centered, book-centered and learning-centered with a distinct commitment to preparing students for leadership and service to our nation.
To see our community, state, and nation positively influenced through the integration of academic scholarship and Christian principle to address issues having a detrimental effect on society.
JC Oliver Library holds a unique position on campus. No other building can so symbolically represent the academic heart of an institution. "If the library is to remain a dynamic life force, it must support the academic community in several new ways." (Freeman, 2005)
To meet today’s academic needs as well as those in the future, ABC library strive to reflect the values, mission, and goals of the institution of which it is a part, while also accommodating new information, learning technologies and the ways we access and use them.
