- Description
- The Rhodes University Library strategic plan 2020 - 2022 is informed by the 2020 Academic Library standards developed by the Committee of Higher Education Libraries in South Africa (CHELSA), a coalition of all 26 Higher Education Libraries in South Africa. The standards seek to advance the role of academic libraries as partners to the teaching, learning and research endeavors of South African higher education institutions. The framework is further influenced by the principles as laid down by the 2018 National Policy for Library and Information Services (LIS) in South Africa which seeks to promote and develop the LIS Sector to contribute to the development of a responsive, responsible, and deliberative informed and reading nation. The Strategy is aligned to the Rhodes University (RU) Institutional Development Plan (2018 -2022) and the seven (7) RU goals outlined in the 2020 RU Annual Performance Plan. The seven RU goals are premised from the two most important documents that define the academic project; the RU Institutional Development Plan (IDP) and transformation imperatives document, the RU Institutional Transformation Plan (ITP). The Strategy is made up of the four strategic elements; the overall RU Vision and Mission, the LIS Purpose Statement, Values, Broad Focus Areas (BFAs)and Key Performance Areas (KPAs) that are all aligned to the seven (7) RU goals. Both the vision and mission are derived from the institutional IDP. The LIS further developed purpose statement, values, developed the BFAs and KPAs that translated to action plans and activities that form the Annual Operating Plan for the LIS.
