Department Liaisons are assigned by department heads and are the primary contact between the department and the library.
The library can best serve departments if the Department Liaison:
- Regularly communicates with their Subject Librarian about their department's research needs and needed library resources to support teaching and learning.
- Coordinates their department's recommendations for new books, journals, databases, etc. and submits them to their Subject Librarian by the deadline of March 1st.
- Disseminates information about new library resources and services to their department colleagues.
- Communicates the need for the development of materials to support course instruction, such as research guides or tutorials.
- Actively participates with their Subject Librarian in collection management and review of resources for their programs.
