Liaison Librarians

Have a question or an idea? There's a librarian for that. Liaison librarians:

  • Develop partnerships for research, publishing, teaching, learning, digital projects and scholarly communication.
  • Communicate pertinent library news, promote library services and programs, and facilitate problem-solving in relation to library services.
  • Select books, journals, databases and other materials for their disciplines.
