Mission

The mission of the Visual Resources Library is to support all Western Michigan University instruction and related education by the use of still visual images.

Goals

The goals of the Visual Resources Library are to provide still visual images for classroom instruction and other related uses.

  1. Every effort will be made to provide images that can be projected and used in the classroom. Currently the Visual Resources Library contains more than 125,000 35 mm slides for classroom use. Additions will be made to the slide collection.
  2. Other visual materials for classroom use such as Photo CD, CD-ROM, Roll Maps, Photographs and Reproductions will be acquired as need and acquisitions budget allows.
  3. Cataloging of the Visual Resources Collection will be carried out on an ongoing basis.
  4. All possible measures will be taken to maintain and preserve the Visual Resources Collection.
