Librarian Liaisons
Librarians are assigned as liaisons (list of librarian liaisons and department coordinators) to each department/academic unit on campus to promote communication between the library and its users. The liaisons inform faculty about the library's holdings and services, gather information about needs and concerns, and work with the unit to develop the library collections.  Your library liaison will be happy to discuss the library's holdings in your area of interest with you.

Each academic department or unit has a coordinator who works closely with the library liaison to develop collections in that subject area.   Requests for books and other materials should be forwarded to the departmental coordinator. 

In addition to assisting with developing the collections, librarian liaisons can also help with: 

  • training in the use of print and electronic resources 
  • engaging in collection assessments and recommending materials for purchase 
  • creating research guides for subject disciplines 
Faculty members can contact their library liaison to discuss how the library's resources and services can assist in teaching and research.   The library views liaison exchanges as a way to promote the cooperation and mutual planning that is essential in building and maintaining a superior library.  For a list of the current liaisons and coordinators, click here.
