"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all"-John Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn

As librarians, we advocate academic integrity. We support students in their quests for knowledge and truth. The best librarians and academics are driven by curiosity and find delight in the research process. It's our hope to convey to students our love of and respect for research and the world of ideas. Some students come to us with little experience as researchers. Information literacy skills can be learned and do contribute to lifelong learning. JCLRC Information Literacy Standards
