Library Liaison Program

Library liaisons act as a bridge between the library and academic departments. Each academic department is assigned a library liaison who works in partnership with the department to select library materials and develop services in support of learning, teaching, and research to further the overall academic mission.

• Purchase materials to support your curriculum and faculty research.
• Attend department meetings to give presentations about library resources and services.
• Learn about department curriculum, course assignments, and learning outcomes as they relate to the library.
• Consult with you on your information needs and direct you to the best information resources.
• Collaborate with you to provide online instructional objects for your students to improve their information literacy and bibliographic skills.
• Facilitate discussions or grade research assignments as an embedded librarian in Canvas.
