Acquisitions and Content Management

The mission of the UTC Library Acquisitions and Content Management team is to be thoughtful stewards of quality information resources through the deliberate acquisition, description, organization, maintenance, and promotion of a holistic and ever-evolving collection to enhance profound learning opportunities for the UTC community.

We meet our mission through the following functions:

Acquisition of books, journals, films, databases, and other content to support student and faculty learning and research
Management of the descriptive and administrative metadata to support discovery of library resources and effective assessment
Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure library resources meet the educational needs of UTC students, faculty, and staff
Creation of physical and online displays connecting library users to timely information resources

It is our hope to inspire, educate, and equip the UTC community to support a culture of experiential learning and innovation.
