      <MissionDescription>BY SHARING INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES, EXPERTISE, AND INNOVATION, THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEASTERN RESEARCH LIBRARIES (ASERL) ADVANCES THE EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH SUCCESS OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. ASERL MEMBERS BELIEVE OUR LIBRARIES AND INSTITUTIONS ARE BETTER ABLE TO FULFILL OUR INDIVIDUAL MISSIONS THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS, AND THE BENEFITS OF COLLABORATIVE ACTION CAN BE GREATER THAN THOSE PROVIDED BY THE SAME INSTITUTIONS ACTING INDEPENDENTLY. WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS STRENGTH IN UNITY AND THAT UNITY CAN ACCOMMODATE INSTITUTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS. WE UNDERSTAND OUR GOALS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO ASERL'S INITIATIVES, MOMENTUM, AND SPIRIT.</MissionDescription>
