Specific

Measurable

Don’t apply to everything we do
Connect to measurable/defined campus needs
Examples from other Institutions

“the future mission central needs for the NCSU
Libraries are in digital media (and the
management of them, we are starting to talk
about digital asset management again), the
opening of the Hunt Library, connecting
with stakeholders (faculty and donors right
now), and digital scholarship.”
