Liaison Librarian Services

Students: Make an appointment with the Liaison Librarian for your subject area for a research consultation and in-depth assistance with using Library resources.
Academic staff: Contact your Liaison Librarian to:
- Arrange one-on-one research consultations and in-depth assistance with using Library resources
- Discuss workshops for your students in information literacy skills and using print or online Library resources
- Discuss or recommend purchase of Library resources for the programmes you deliver
