To achieve our outlined Vision Statement, the Barber Library & Learning Commons (BLLC) is guided by COCC Values and Future Directions.

 



 

Student-Focused


BLLC supports student success and life-long learning with its online and print collections, technology, and web presence.  Its library services are student-focused and reflect student research and curriculum needs including academic, personal, and professional interests. BLLC is committed to student information literacy.

 

Reputation

 

BLLC is acknowledged for its positive reputation among students, faculty, staff, and the Central Oregon community. Students, faculty, staff, and community patrons recognize BLLC for its friendly, welcoming environment; current, authoritative print and electronic collections; access to millions of resources via its interlibrary loan services; accessible and user-friendly website; attention to service; and commitment to instruction. Students, faculty, and staff consider BLLC essential to their success.
