Liaison Librarians
Liaison librarians support education, research and clinical care by actively collaborating with the UT Health San Antonio community to provide expertise in the use and creation of knowledge.
How can we help you?
Liaison librarians serve as the primary point of contact in the library for the faculty, staff and students in their respective schools. Our services include:
Literature searching
Your liaison librarian can conduct a mediated literature search of library databases to support research projects, publications or grants.
Structured review service
Liaison librarians support evidence-based healthcare practice and research at UT Health San Antonio by providing guidance and expertise to those conducting structured literature reviews, such as systematic, scoping, integrative or rapid reviews.
Digital learning objects
Creation and integration of digital learning objects into librarian-led training such as:
- Custom guides for finding resources (see the full list of our LibGuides)
- Videos
- Interactive tutorials
Research support and consultation
Meet with faculty, staff and students individually (or in small groups) to offer guidance in finding appropriate resources, searching library databases and more. Contact your liaison librarian to request a virtual or in-person consultation.
