Mission

 MagnifiCAT (AMU Library Catalog)    

Pope John Paul II writes in Ex Corde Ecclesia that "The basic mission of a University is a continuous quest for truth through its research, and the preservation and communication of knowledge for the good of society."

The mission of the Ave Maria University Library is to support that quest for truth by assembling resources that help students and faculty do research in every subject that the University teaches. It is our goal to use the most up-to-date techniques and practices and to employ a highly-trained and motivated staff in order to provide exceptional library service to the Ave Maria University community.
