Mission of the Library
The mission of the Frank S. DiPietro Library is to reflect the University curriculum and serve the Franklin Pierce community. Library faculty and staff encourage and support academic excellence and cultural development by providing an environment conducive to quiet study, instilling sound research methods and strategies through library instruction, developing a rich array of print and electronic resources, and readily assisting patrons in finding the information they seek. Information gathering is enhanced by interlibrary loan and a variety of electronic databases. The DiPietro Library is also fully engaged in efforts to upgrade collection handling and to improve access to information by keeping abreast of and implementing new practices in library and information science.
