Libraries of the future must pioneer change rather than merely manage it.
Vision, Goals, and Values
The Penn Libraries Digital Strategy 2022-2024 presents a broad vision to plan, implement, scale, and sustain digital technologies and practices that enable Penn students, researchers, scholars, and their collaborators to function skillfully and competitively in a digital world.
Aiming to pioneer change rather than merely manage it, the digital strategy supports a proactive approach that assumes full alignment with the priorities and values of the Penn Libraries’ Strategic Plan 2020-2025 and seamlessly connects the Libraries’ digital services and systems with the University’s research, teaching, and learning mission. The goals outlined by the strategy are to achieve resilient systems, increase agility and capacity for growth, manage change and evolutions in services, and thereby foster innovation.
The following action-oriented values frame the strategy:
- Design and develop with a human-centered focus.
- Create and sustain a future-ready infrastructure.
- Inspire and empower excellence in digital leadership.
