Services for Faculty
Library Faculty Liaisons
Library faculty liaisons (also known as subject librarians or reference and instruction librarians) connect teaching faculty to the library's collections and services. Every department and cross-disciplinary area of study has a designated library faculty liaison who is available for
- classroom instruction
- consultation on the development of class assignments
- research assistance
- collection development
Contact your library faculty liaison to learn more about how they can help you.
