Library Liaisons
The Library Liaison Program associates an HCL librarian with an FAS department, academic committee, or program, for the purpose of assisting those faculty, staff, and students with research-related matters.Â
Library Liaisons work to establish relationships with their assigned departments and create and teach library-related classes, meet with students and faculty, provide one-on-one consultation, write course research guides, assist with content for course web sites, and provide general reference services to the department’s faculty and students.
Department chairs or faculty interested in having a Library Liaison assigned to their area should contact the Associate Librarian for Research and Instruction at 617-495-2401.
