Within the university, the Libraries is a catalyst for research, creativity, student success, and transformation.

The Collections and Content Strategies<https://www.ohio.edu/library/about/organizational-chart> staff are responsible for collections assessment, stacks management, management of the Southeast Ohio Regional Depository, and promoting practices that support the Libraries' commitment to incorporating social justice into our decision-making processes for both general and specialized collections.
