Cook Library Liaison Program

The Library Liaison Program promotes a partnership between the academic departments and the Cook Library to improve learning and teaching in the University. In this partnership the librarian's expertise in information resources complements the subject knowledge of the faculty.

The librarians are assigned to specific academic departments/programs to work with the faculty to identify the department's information needs and priorities. Additionally, the librarian recommends library materials in liaison areas, working with the department's Library Representative and the Collection Development Officer. The liaison librarian also informs faculty members about changes and additions in library services.

Liaison services include:

  • Apprising faculty of library services and new information sources such as databases; informing faculty of new sources that might be useful in a faculty member's fields of research; attending departmental meetings when possible.

  • Working with departmental faculty to learn about departmental goals and curriculum and course assignments as they relate to the library.

  • Working closely with the assigned faculty representative in an academic department on current acquisitions; adding materials that support international, multi-cultural, ethnic, women's issues in the academic areas for which liaison librarians are responsible.

  • Supporting distance education or distributed learning courses that the department is offering by customizing library support services for those courses.

  • Contributing to the Subject Guides in the liaison area for which a librarian is responsible.
