2008 Environmental Scan of Goals

Abstract

This report reviews and summarizes the 2008 Cornell Strategic Plan along with the associated goals and priorities of individual Cornell schools and colleges, and analyzes their content relative to CUL's stated goals and priorities for 2007-2010. The goal is to determine if the library's goals align with and if the library's goals directly link to the colleges for what they identify as their priorities, and to identify gaps between the two. Results and analysis suggest that some modifications to the CUL goals might be useful in order to align them better with those of other academic units on campus. It is likely that more direct information gathering from college officials would evoke a clearer and more robust connection between CUL's and their goals and priorities.
