Strategic Plan Overview

In AY23, the Libraries will continue working on the three goals from AY21 and AY22.  Action-oriented initiatives are aligned with these three goals.

Goal 1: Transform the Libraries’ environment and user-centered experience to anticipate evolving modes of learning.

  • Infrastructure Improvements - Implement change to continue to make King Library a first-class space that supports student learning and success, attracts the best staff, and fosters collaboration.
    • Facilitator: Mike Smith
    • Workgroup Members: Kris Abney, Stan Brown, Lori Chapin, Katie Gibson, Aaron Shrimplin, and Jaclyn Spraetz
    • Action Plan

Goal 2: Forge meaningful partnerships that foster affordability, ensure relevancy, and cultivate life-long connections.

  • External Funding - Increase external funding by 10% by engaging with campus partners: (a) The Office of Research and Innovation and University Advancement to build resources that will increase the capacity for Library staff to pursue and obtain future funding, (b) The Office of ASPIRE to submit a capital request for infrastructure enhancements
    • Facilitator: Kevin Messner
    • Workgroup Members: Roger Justus, Lissa Martin, John Millard, Abi Morgan, Sarah Nagle, and Meng Qu
    • Action Plan

Teams will continue to take intentional steps to align the work they are completing with MiamiRISE.
