new draft mission statement and goals

Here is a revised copy of the mission statement and goals for the SL Library. I've changed some of the goals around to more easily identify them with action steps from the strategic plan:

June 23, 2008 (draft)
Mission of the Olathe Public Library
Effective date: October24, 1994
(Excerpt from Olathe Public Library Administrative Policy Manual)
The Library actively pursues a role as the primary information center in the community. Accurate and useful information is provided to the citizenry through the use of technology and resources materials. Further emphasis is placed upon young children and their families through materials and services which will encourage reading and lifelong learning.
(The Second Life branch of the Library focuses on services for adults only, although many services and resources are intended to benefit families.)

Goals of the Second Life branch of the Olathe Public Library:
To promote the services and resources of the Olathe Public Library.
To explore and experiment with the potential of Second Life for providing library services and resources.
To take advantage of the opportunities for staff to learn new technologies and to collaborate, network and share with librarians from all over the world. (Objective 7.4, Action Step 6)
To enhance computer services to customers through technology (Objective 7.2)
