McGill Library Strategic Intentions
In December 2013, the McGill University Library undertook a planning exercise. The result of this exercise is the McGill Library Strategic Intentions 2014-2015. This document provides us with a roadmap to direct our efforts and activities over the coming year.
As part of this planning exercise, input was gathered from Library staff at all levels. Everyone who works at McGill Library has valuable experience and knowledge. Your ideas and contributions have been, and continue to be, an essential part of the planning process, and of the future of the Library.
