Professional Librarians and Faculty Liaisons
Professional Librarians work with faculty liaisons to better understand and meet their resource needs. Each academic department is represented by one librarian and one faculty liaison. The faculty liaison serves as a contact person between his or her department and the library to communicate resource needs.
