The Gamble Library Vision Statement

Every member equipped with the resources and information literacy they need to support teaching, learning, research or personal and professional development, within the context of the Union Theological College’s vision and ethos.

The Gamble Library Mission Statement

The Gamble Library exists to support the work of the Union Theological College: preparing students to make effective and positive contributions in our society and across the world; equipping students for effective ministry within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland; and, providing research–informed teaching and innovative approaches to learning and assessment. This is achieved by supplying Union College staff, students, alumni, Presbyterian ministers, church workers, and if appropriate, the wider community, with the relevant academic, practical and historical resources, containing the timely, accurate and quality–assured information, they require. The Library facilitates the teaching, learning, research, personal and professional development of its members through the organisation, management and development of suitable collections, in any appropriate media, access to worldwide information sources and information literacy instruction.
