Liaison Librarians & contact information

Your library liaisons are here to help

Since 1999, the HSC Libraries have operated our Liaison Librarian Program. Liaisons are subject specialist librarians dedicated to specific academic units, including colleges, departments, centers/institutes, and academic programs. Liaisons are the primary contact for their assigned units, and provide a variety of information services to the faculty, students and staff of those units.

Your Liaison Librarian can:

• Meet with you in person or over e-mail to discuss any of your information needs
• Provide information consultations or library orientations
• Guest lecture in your class, department/laboratory meeting, journal club, resident conference, or other venue
• Develop and teach information-related classes workshops on topics such as expert database searching, use of citation management tools, and anti-plagiarism strategies
• Create customized online interactive tutorials for use by on- and off-campus faculty, staff & students
• Conduct literature searches (including IACUC/IRB) for HSC faculty and staff
• Provide assistance with data management plan creation and instruction in data management
• Help create/update class reading lists
• Provide basic bioinformatics instruction and consultations
• Assist with the creation of systematic reviews
• Take recommendations for expanding electronic and print resources for the HSC Libraries’ collection
• Collaborate with you on publications, grants, instruction and other academic endeavors

Feel free to contact your Liaison Librarian with any information-related questions, or just to see what we can do for you and your research, teaching, clinical or administrative programs!
