Staff Values

The staff values, developed by and for Yale Library staff, are intended set the tone for our collaborative work, communication,  and interactions with library users. Yale Library patrons and visitors are invited to embrace and practice these values in community with us.

We commit to cultivating a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hold ourselves and each other accountable for embodying these values in our shared work:

  • Access We champion equitable, ethical access to the record of human thought and experience.
  • Diversity We value our differences and promote inclusion and mutual respect in our community, discourse, and spaces.
  • Creativity We nurture a culture of curiosity and innovation.
