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.
