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:

• Liaisons are available during regular business hours for drop-in consultations or by appointment.
  • If your class or information need occurs outside of regular business hours, connect with your liaison for case-by-case consideration.
