Mission Statement

Adopted by Orbis Cascade Alliance Council: October 8, 2004.

The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of academic institutions in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

The mission of the Alliance is to strengthen member libraries through collaboration in order to support the work of our students, faculty, staff, and researchers. Alliance members join together to enhance our services, share our information resources and expertise, enrich and preserve our collections, and develop library staff to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing information environment.
