The mission of the Bastyr University Libraries is to support the educational aims and objectives of the university in fulfilling its wider mission to educate future leaders in the natural health arts and sciences. This includes the goal of broadening public awareness of holistic approaches to health. The libraries serve students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the wider community.
Full Library Policies for Collection, Circulation, and Instruction are available on MyBU on SharePoint
The Library Advisory Group (LAG) meets quarterly and serves to ensure that collection and service decisions are informed by, and communicated to, the wider campus community. The LAG has representatives from all academic departments, as well as selected administrative leaders. The LAG also invites other campus stakeholders on an ad hoc basis, depending on the agenda.
The LAG agendas and meeting notes can be found here: Library Advisory Group Minutes and Meeting Notes. They are accessible for current students, faculty, staff, and alumni using your BU login.
In addition to the LAG, the library updates the Library Website with collections, services, and events news, and shares regular resources, tips, and success stories through the library blog - we send out quarterly emails with updates on hours and any significant changes, but for those who want to see more detailed updates, the blog is where we share interesting but non-essential information with you!
