What can my library liaison do for me?

Your library liaison (see the list of librarian liaisons by subject area) can support your teaching and research in a variety of ways:

Instructional Support

    Library liaisons can:
  • Help to create online course guides with a customized, discipline-specific set of academic resources tailored to your assignments.
  • Look at your assignments and suggest appropriate ways to correlate library research, lead students in the use of library resources, and assess how well our resources will fit your assignment.
  • Visit with your class in order to guide your students in finding and using library resources appropriate to your assignment.
    You may also find the following teaching resources useful as you consider adding information literacy components to your classes:
  • Information literacy core competencies- the research skills your students should have at different points in their college careers.
  • Schoolcraft College’s manage information core ability
  • Information on evaluating sources items to consider

Library liaisons are available to assist you with your information seeking needs. These needs may include collection development suggestions, sharing information and consulting on the use of library databases, discussing techniques for searching library databases and websites, selecting reserve materials and locating academic websites relating to your discipline. We are actively looking for opportunities to meet with your students, attend departmental meetings, and for individual consultation.
