2016-17 library liaisons named

Librarian Liaisons for 2016-17 have been assigned. Every academic department and many college initiatives and service departments are assigned a librarian.  The liaison librarian is designated to be an information specialist for your department.   Work of the liaison librarian may include:

• attending academic department meetings to better understand your curriculum needs
• creating and sustaining Subject Guides supporting your department
• handling collection development (selection & weeding) of the print, audiovisual media, and e-formatted materials making up the library collections supporting your department
• working on outside accreditation efforts (please contact your librarian one year prior to accreditors’ visits)
• one-on-one and/or department information literacy sessions for faculty
• advising on copyright issues
• assistance with OER materials
• creating information literacy materials for classes taught within the library’s instructional program
• assisting departmental committees with research-related needs

If your department does not have a liaison librarian and wants one, please contact Nan Schichtel at 616-234-3082.
