What are liaison librarians, and how can they help?
Posted: August 2, 2022
The A.T. Still Memorial Library uses a liaison librarian model of service. What does this mean? In short, each department/school at A.T. Still University (ATSU) has a dedicated librarian who acts as the primary point of contact for library services, especially for our research and instruction services. Liaison librarians can provide everything from assistance using our website or databases, to providing in-depth support for intensive research projects, or anything in-between. Some of our liaison services include:
- Developing search strategies
- Provide database and resource instructional training
- Developing course-integrated EBP instruction
- Reviewing journals for signs of predatory publishing
- Identifying journals relevant to a research topic
- Assisting with various types of literature reviews, including systematic reviews
- Assisting with research data management
- Designing custom LibGuides
- Supporting faculty with curriculum design and instruction
