promoting knowledge, via a contemporary environment.
Our mission is to provide support to students that will allow them to reach their educational goals by adopting new technologies and scholarly tools. Additionally, a key goal is to support the research conducted at the EIMF by both academics and students.

To provide resources and services that support the learning and teaching activities of students and faculty. This includes access to textbooks, scholarly journals, electronic databases, and other materials needed for coursework and research.
To regularly update and expand the library collections in order to respond to the academic community needs. This involves selecting and acquiring new materials and evaluating the relevance of existing ones.
