Mission Statement
Welcome to the Leonard Lief Library. Books and technology, print documents and electronic databases, special collections and DVD-ROMs—these are the multiple formats of the current academic library. Providing physical and virtual space, interactive websites and Group Study Rooms are some of the challenges of operating a library in a round-the-clock environment.
We are particularly proud of our multi-windowed library and our commitment to outstanding customer support. The strongest feature of our Library is our faculty and staff, who are always seeking ways to serve you better.
—Kenneth Schlesinger, Chief Librarian.
The Library supports Lehman’s educational mission and is committed to providing staffing, facilities, resources, and services that meet the information and scholarly needs of members of the College community, help foster personal and professional development, and inspire lifelong learning.
Our Library is committed to the following:
- Providing a friendly, welcoming environment
- Maintaining comfortable, attractive facilities that promote research and study
- Acquiring print, electronic, and multimedia resources that support curricular needs
- Encouraging information and computer literacy through instruction
- Adopting innovative technologies that enhance research, teaching, and learning
- Serving as a gateway for the acquisition of scholarship and knowledge
- Supporting the research needs of the CUNY community and affiliates, as well as users consulting the Government Documents depository and Special Collections.
