Annual Report 2016
Our Mission--Dudley Knox Library contributes to learning, research and teaching -- anytime, anywhere -- through relevant and evolving collections, tools, services, and spaces designed for NPS patrons of today and tomorrow.

How we do it
Throughout our 2016 Annual Report you will see many examples of how the Dudley Knox Library embodies, promotes, and supports high velocity learning, a signature component in the Chief of Naval Operation's A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority. Our internal core values -- Service | Continuous Improvement | Teamwork | Respect & Trust | Accountability | Integrity -- help us stay focused on accomplishing the four strategic goals that enable our Mission. We remain engaged with learners where they learn by providing the right mix of people, portal and place to support student and faculty success.
Assure Institutional Memory through a centralized repository for the NPS scholarly record and archives.
