CRMM faculty, staff and students will use current technology in the pursuit of enhancing the quality of education being provided. The library will make every effort to instruct patrons' on the use of technology that is available within its premises. The goal of technology use in the library is to ensure that all patrons have the ability to complete their assigned tasks. Technology use in the library will benefit all staff as a way to keep them up to date on current and new technology which in turn will benefit patrons as that knowledge will be passed on through instruction.

Technology use is an integral part of the library's overall mission statement as it has always been the CRMM staff's goal to provide access to all library materials regardless of their medium. Technology use will provide patrons access to information even when they are not within the library. As patrons, staff and faculty become familiar with the technology that is available, their ability to search for relevant content will also expand.
