For
the Center to achieve excellence it must be properly positioned
and needs to pursue a specific mission located within the broader
mission of the university. The mission of the Documentation Center
is therefore as follows : |
 |
To
support the research and academic needs of the University students
and faculty and to serve as a focus for public programs of interest
to the campus and wider KwaZulu community. |
 |
To
encourage partnerships with community, cultural and educational
groups and institutions. |
 |
To
demonstrate through its collections, a commitment to research
excellence, inter - cultural tolerance and its faith in the
future of a democratic South Africa. |
 |
To
offer extension services that afford the general public the
opportunity to exploit the resources of the Center. Towards
this end, the Center seeks to mount traveling exhibitions, awards
bearing endeavours and educational programs on heritage resources. |
 |
To
become a national asset by ultimately serving not only the university
but also the provincial, national and international community.
