Collaborating With Your Librarian in WebCampus
Direct your students to research help by providing the contact information for their librarian. Your subject librarian, or liaison, has expertise in the resources of your discipline and is a great first point of contact for any question or comment about the Libraries.
Find your liaison librarian and get additional contact information in the Staff Directory.
