Mission Statement

Our faculty and staff serve as the human connection between people and the knowledge resources that they need to succeed. We acquire, organize, preserve, and provide access to information resources and are active partners in the University’s mission to promote information literacy. The Library provides a sustainable learning environment that meets the space, computing, and information needs of the UHM academic community. The Library is a premier resource for Hawaii, Pacific and Asia-related research. It facilitates access to knowledge throughout the world and contributes unique content to global networked information resources.
