As scholars and educators, the faculty are committed to an advocacy for
accurate and current information, for wide public and professional
access to information, and for the critical use of information to
address the needs and problems of our society. The department advances
these values through personal and professional leadership and service
in regional, national, and international organizations, societies, and
councils. As citizens of Rutgers University, the faculty serves their
academic community by offering advice in matters related to information
education, and by representing the interests of colleagues and students
in governance and academic affairs. Beyond Rutgers, the faculty serve
their community, business, and government organizations in areas
relating to information and its technologies, the provision of
information and research services, and the development of libraries,
information agencies, and cultural institutions of all kinds.
