How often does the library actually search what you need?

What is a library liaison?

Many libraries designate liaisons to serve as the primary point of contact for students, faculty and staff so that they can build and maintain strong relationships with academic departments. Some liaisons serve multiple departments while others serve only specific subdisciplines relative to what is called their “subject master’s.” In addition to their library master’s degree, academic librarians hold at least a second master’s degree and many have the doctorate, so as to better understand the reference, instruction, and collection development needs of their community. This is not to say that the liaisons are always in control of the institution’s materials budget, but in some cases they are. Formal library liaison programs are an emerging phenomenon, with programs now in place at Harvard, Cornell, the University of Connecticut, and the University of North Carolina Greensboro, to name only a few. Find out who your department’s liaison is and schedule an appointment.

Can you use the orientation tour alone?

It is unlikely, however, that the orientation tour alone will give you skills sufficient to find, retrieve, analyze, and use the many complex resources your library makes available to you. Luckily, librarians are committed to helping you overcome barriers to effective research, and they offer a wide variety of classes, workshops, and seminars.
