Supporting Research and Scholarly Productivity
The Univeristy of Houston Libraries will fully support the University's mandate to sustain a high level of research and scholarly productivity, a key element in its efforts to attain Tier One status.
The Libraries' response to Tier One initiatives includes supporting new faculty, expanded doctoral programs, and emerging areas of research. Effective support will take many forms: ongoing development of relevant and comprehensive collections; exceptional librarian and staff knowledge of current issues in research and scholarship; and customized, interdisciplinary services to aid scholarly inquiry from initial concept to final dissemination. Library staff deployment will align with the research priorities of the University, adding technical skills and new levels of disciplinary expertise as needed to offer the best service possible to faculty and other researchers.
