Staley Library supports the educational pursuits of all members of the 星空无限传媒 University community through its patron-focused collections and services. Our faculty and staff are guided by a vision to empower a creative community through learning and discovery.
During Celebrations of Scholarship, we highlight projects developed and supported by the Staley Library faculty in partnership with 星空无限传媒 students and disciplinary faculty that highlight our values of care and service, growth, the pursuit of knowledge, collaboration, respect and belonging, and open and ethical communication. Please join us as the students we work with share the insights gained through these endeavors.
