Library Liaison Program
The purpose of the Library Liaison Program is to
establish an ongoing partnership with teaching
faculty. This contact, or liaison, can answer
questions about the library and inform faculty of
library services, programs and resources. The
liaison also acts as a conduit for obtaining
information from the academic community regarding
issues that affect the library and library services.
Some of the intended goals of the program are to:
- Identify faculty perceptions and needs
- Increase the student and faculty use of the library
- Improve quality of library collections
- Provide materials pertinent to courses in a timely fashion
The following is a list of liaisons arranged by
school and department.
