Liaison librarians are HSLS librarians who have expertise in a specific area or who are integrated into one of the schools of the health sciences. Liaisons are familiar with the resources and services at HSLS and can act as a link to the support you need. For example, liaisons can offer the following services:
- Provide customized instruction within a curriculum to teach research or information literacy skills to students.
- Give recommendations for embedding streaming media and other HSLS resources into course syllabi
- Collaborate on research and grant projects
- Provide expertise in specialized areas such as data management, molecular biology software, scholarly publishing, and research impact.
If you are beginning a research project or preparing a course, consider reaching out to your liaison librarian as part of the planning process for an introduction to the resources available at HSLS.
