Our Mission:

The TSU Library Learning Center empowers scholars by providing access to robust collections, qualified staff and innovative work spaces that advance teaching and learning and stimulate scholarship, community engagement, intellectual inquiry and civic discourse. Reviewed Spring, 2019.

Distance Learning Services:

The TSU Library Learning Center adheres to ACRL Standards for Distance Learning Library Services and provides resources and services to meet the research needs of the distance learning community. Distance learning students have access to appropriate library resources.

Information Literacy Statement:

The TSU Library Learning Center supports the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Information Literacy skills are an essential part of our library instruction program. Elements of the framework for information literacy are infused into all library lectures, guides, and tutorials.

Disability Services:

The TSU Library Learning Center supports guidelines set forth by Texas Southern University’s Student Accessibility Services Office (SASO).  Students with documented disabilities should coordinate services through that office and notify library staff when assistance is needed.
