Library Instruction: Request a Liaison Consultation

What is a library liaison?

Library liaisons are Reference Librarians and other library staff who are designated to support the teaching, learning, and research needs of faculty and students in a specific school, department, or program. 

What might a library liaison do for you?

• Provide library instruction and information literacy assessment for classes and programs

• Recommend best information sources for research, and best tools for citation management

• Promote the use of the Fordham University Research Repository and other digital collections available via the library

• Develop library collections that support the curriculum

• Create Research Guides to highlight the best sources for a topic, discipline, or research assignment  (see our Research Guides List to determine if there is already a guide that satisfies your needs)

• Help you obtain access to research level sources available via library consortia and cooperative browsing and lending services such as NYPL MaRLI and ReCAP Shared Collection, OCLC SHARES, WALDO, AJCU, NYATLA, New York Botanic Garden, and Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) card referral service.

Please note: Due to limited staffing the library observes a two business day response time to email requests.  For immediate attention, please stop by the Reference Desk of your campus library, or use the Ask A Librarian service.
