Standard 3: The library's services are directed by a qualified professional librarian. Additional qualified professional and paraprofessional staff are provided to support library services and address user needs.

Standard 4: The library's reporting relationship allows active participation in the institution's planning and resource allocation process. Adequate financial resources are provided to meet the information needs of the individuals the library serves.

Standard 5: Appropriate space is provided for the library's collections, personnel and services and supports the research and study needs of students, faculty and staff
