Liaison Librarians
Library liaisons provide faculty, staff and students with a contact person in the library who can be called upon for information about any library service, resource, or issue.
The liaisons specialize in understanding the information needs of their assigned departments or programs, so please do contact your liaison if you need to discuss anything related to the HSL.
See our Liaison Program page for a list of liaisons.
