How We Do It: Vision & Values 

A life of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership, and care requires the ability to find and use information and to communicate effectively.  I&TS is an active partner in the preparation of PLU students for lives of service in an increasingly digital world. 

I&TS envisions an information environment at PLU that:

is easy to access and to navigate

enables rich communication among all members of the PLU community

supplies resources and encouragement for innovation

provides effective information professionals in support of teaching-learning, research, and conducting the university’s business 

I&TS core values include the promotion of information literacy and technology awareness, cultivation of critical thinking skills, intellectual freedom, and equity of access to information. 

Toward this end, I&TS marshals its material and human resources in ways that cultivate interdependence as an asset while relying heavily on collaboration, trust, and the empowerment of individuals & service teams to respond rapidly to the needs of our constituents.
