Library Liaisons: Who, What, Where, When
WHO
WHAT
UT Health Briscoe Library Liaisons are the primary point of contact in the library for the faculty, staff, and students in their respective schools. Our services include:
- Connecting patrons with the resources they need – when they need them.
- Helping our patrons leverage the library’s collection of books, journals, and databases.
- Consulting with users to develop search strategies for literature reviews; to find evidence and data; and to identify useful resources that will assist educators, researchers, and clinicians in support of grant applications, publication submissions, and patient needs.
- Supporting users with reference management applications such as RefWorks and EndNote.
Liaisons can field questions on practices and issues related to:
- Scholarly publications, including open access
- Copyright and fair use guidelines
- Research data management
- Where to publish
- Publication impact and metrics
We provide instruction, within the curriculum, on how to develop research skills and apply models of information-seeking, such as evidence-based practice.
WHERE:
- We can meet at the library or your location.
- We can come to your classroom and conduct individual or group consultations/presentations.
- We can meet you in person, on the phone or virtually via CANVAS conference or Jabber.
WHEN:
