research and outreach mission of the university.  The Libraries
have 11 faculty, 35 staff, a budget of $3 million, and a newly
installed integrated automation system. We are currently
embarking on a large-scale physical expansion plan.

Western Washington University is a comprehensive university with
10,000 students and 400 faculty in six colleges and the Graduate
