VC/UHV LIBRARY
Mission Statement
The VC/UHV
Library is committed to anticipating and satisfying the information
and research needs of the Victoria College and University of
Houston-Victoria communities, and supporting these institutions in
their respective missions.
The Victoria
College/UH-Victoria Library serves as a primary research resource
for Victoria County and fourteen surrounding counties. The major
role of the library is to serve the curricular and research needs of
the students, faculty, and staff of Victoria College and
UH-Victoria. An important but secondary role is to provide
informational services to the community and region, within the
limits allowed by the library's resources. To serve the patrons of
the library in the best possible way, the library is committed to
cooperation and the sharing of resources with other libraries in the
city, region, state, and nation.
The Victoria
College/UH-Victoria Library shares an automation system with the
Victoria Public Library and is a participant in the TexShare
statewide library resource sharing project. Through these
cooperative efforts, the library is able to provide better services
and access to library resources for students and the community. The
library also serves as a select depository for federal documents, a
full depository for Texas state documents, and a Regional Historical
Records Depository, which houses a growing collection of archival
materials from Victoria and surrounding counties.
