Mission
Mikkelsen Library serves as the information center for the Augustana University community through its development of a local collection, its access to other sources of information, its support of the instructional process, and its encouragement of independent learning and research.
Strategic Plan
The members of the Mikkelsen Library staff and Mikkelsen Library committee regularly engage in strategic conversations resulting in a strategic plan for the library. During the summer of 2015 the librarians reviewed the 2011 strategic plan to formally identify outcomes and begin the process of creating a new strategic plan. In cooperation with the Mikkelsen Library Committee, which includes faculty and students, the new comprehensive strategic plan was adopted in 2016.
