Liaison Librarians
Liaison Librarians provide a number of services to support teaching, learning and research. They collaborate with faculty to develop services and collections that meet the needs of their students and departments. Liaison Librarians assess information needs and create specialized materials and products, such as online information resource guides, awareness/alerting services, and much more.
