Understand Our Library Liaison System

Our goal: make sure students and faculty have the books, media, journals, and databases that fit your courses—so learning clicks.

Library Liaisons are librarians assigned to academic areas (e.g., English, Math, Sociology). We partner with you to plan instruction, build or refresh research guides, advise on collections and databases, and support students’ research skills.

Liaisons check in during the year to hear what’s changing in your courses and what students need. We also gather feedback on journals and databases that support assignments. Reach out anytime to talk classes, assignments, or resourcesTeam Library is here for you.

Want to suggest materials or explore expert book reviews? Use the resources listed below. First-time users may need to create a Choice Reviews account while on campus; after that, you can access it from anywhere. To request a specific title or format, use the purchase suggestion form below. For what we can purchase, see the Collection Development Guidelines (also below).

See the Book Budget

About the Book Budget: Each year, the Library Director earmarks a portion of the book budget for each School based on the prior year’s SSCH. Faculty may request purchases from August 1 through March 1. Unused earmarks revert to general funds on March 2. Library staff also select materials throughout the year, and funds may be reallocated to meet collection needs, budget permitting.
