MISSION STATEMENT

Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s Morton R. Godine Library is committed to upholding the mission of the College through free and open access to the library’s collections and services.  We connect the MassArt community and outside researchers to information that enhances the curriculum of the college and inspires curiosity and creativity. Our exceptional collections, dedicated staff, and welcoming space enrich MassArt.

VALUES

Accessibility - We believe that the library’s collections serve the MassArt community, as well as the public. We use universal design principles to create virtual and physical spaces that welcome all users.

Affordability - We believe that the library plays an important role in lowering the financial burden on students and helping ensure their academic success.

Diversity - We believe that the library is not a neutral space and we actively use our collections and services to  uplift artists, designers and scholars who have been historically marginalized.

Transformation - We believe that art and design have the power to transform our communities and the world. We provide MassArt students with fundamental skills to help them excel in their pursuits.
