The ultimate goal of the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodru Library is to continuously enhance our services and spaces and provide the highest level
of information resources to AUC students and faculty in their quest for knowledge.

The 2017-2018 Fiscal Year was one of strategic engagement and technological enhancements for digital scholarship and literacy. Significant progress was made in each of the priority areas for year three of the Library’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan. Concerted action was placed on embedding the Library into the fabric of the AUC campus learning environment through collaboration – deepening both the quality and footprint of provided services and resources.

Nearly 75 percent of all strategic plan objectives have been achieved since 2015 plan implementation. From expanding the Library’s wireless network to hosting scores of timely social and academic events with students and faculty, the AUC Woodru Library renewed its impetus and commitment to be the epitome of the 21st Century higher education library. Year three accomplishments provided both incentive and framework to refocus the organization for sustaining excellence as the Library continues to reimagine its
role in the landscape of digital information and address the needs of the next generation of users, a role for which we were awarded the 2016 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award in the university category from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). We are proud to share our progress with you in our 2018 Annual Report.
