Library Liaisons

The Library designates a liaison for each academic department and identifies functional expertise.

Liaison Roles

Library liaisons communicate key library resources and services; they are a primary source of contact for any library-related inquiries. Liaisons collaborate with faculty to support the research and teaching success of your department and the educational mission of the University of California.
 

Librarian liaisons may directly provide the following services or connect you with colleagues to provide this expertise. They

  • offer research consultations.
  • teach instruction sessions (information literacy, research computing pedagogy, geospatial tools).
  • provide access to, and offer instruction support for, materials in the Library's Archives & Special Collections.
  • identify and recommend resources for the Library's collection.
  • locate Open Educational Resources (OER) for courses.
  • offer guidance on open access publishing, the UC's Open Access policies, and publishing agreements between UC and academic publishers.
  • design and assess information literacy instruction.
  • consult on data management needs and plans.
  • assist campus units with depositing University records and other materials into the University archives.
