Mission<br />

The mission of the <strong>Clarion</strong> <strong>University</strong> Libraries, comprised<br />

of the Carlson Library on the <strong>Clarion</strong> Campus and Suhr<br />

Library on the Venango Campus, is to:<br />

• assist university undergraduate and graduate students,<br />

faculty, staff, and administration in conveniently<br />

locating and accessing the university’s information<br />

resources and those of other sources;<br />

• develop and provide timely and responsive services,<br />

programs, and tools that facilitate translation of<br />

information into knowledge and support research,<br />

scholarship, teaching, and learning;<br />

• build, select, and preserve, in cooperation with<br />

university faculty, a collection of information<br />

resources commensurate with the current and<br />

anticipated discipline needs of the university’s<br />

instructional programs and supportive of teaching<br />

and learning processes;<br />

• contribute to progress of the university and the<br />

profession; and<br />

• participate in addressing the information resource<br />

needs of local and rural communities in<br />

Pennsylvania.<br />

Carlson and Suhr libraries have combined collections<br />

of more than 1.7 million volumes in various formats,<br />

including books, microforms, periodicals, and electronic<br />

databases. Materials not held by the two libraries may be<br />

accessed through interlibrary loan services offered at both<br />

libraries or directly online through the library’s Webpage.<br />

The libraries are committed to providing excellent service<br />

to users. Qualified library faculty and staff are available<br />

in each of the libraries’ public service areas to assist users<br />

in locating information, satisfying research needs, and<br />

effectively using instructional technologies. Library faculty<br />

also provide instruction on general library use and on<br />

research resources and strategies which are discipline<br />

specific. The libraries’ Webpage (www.clarion.edu/library/)<br />

provides a gateway to Internet resources including services<br />

which provide full-text access to thousands of academic<br />

journals.<br />

Parking and Automobile<br />

Regulations<br />

All provisions of the Vehicle Code of the<br />

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as supplemented by<br />

parking regulations issued by the chancellor, State System<br />

of Higher Education, and <strong>Clarion</strong> <strong>University</strong>, will be strictly<br />

enforced on the <strong>Clarion</strong> <strong>University</strong> Campus. Authority for<br />

such enforcement rests with the director of Public Safety.<br />

People who fail to pay fines will be reported to the district<br />

magistrate, and upon conviction will be subject to penalties<br />

provided by law.<br />

All people who possess, maintain, or operate a motor<br />

vehicle on campus are required to register the vehicle with<br />

the Department of Public Safety. Registering a vehicle does<br />

not guarantee a parking space.<br />

1. People qualifying for campus parking privileges will<br />

be issued a tag indicating the privilege has been<br />

granted and will be assigned to a specific parking<br />

area.<br />

2. Any person who intends to operate a vehicle on<br />

campus after the date on which permits are required<br />

must register the vehicle within 24 hours with the<br />

Office of the Director of Public Safety. Motor vehicles<br />

must be registered even when their use is intermittent<br />

rather than regular.
