Dana Medical Library Liaison Program
Find the representative from the library for your department:
The Library Liaison Program fosters direct and effective communication about
services, information resources, and other library matters. Under this program,
a professional health sciences librarian on the staff of the Dana Medical
Library is assigned to serve as a liaison between the Libraries and units of the
University of Vermont College of Medicine, College of Nursing and Health
Sciences, Fletcher Allen Health Care and Porter Medical Center.
Depending on the needs of the unit, activities of a Librarian Liaison might
include:
- Monitoring curricular and research developments in the unit
- Periodic meetings with individuals or groups of faculty to review
information needs, including resources that should be added
- Contacting graduate students, new faculty, postdoctoral associates,
etc., to discuss research and teaching needs
- Tailoring instructional programs to specific unit needs
- Providing assistance on difficult, specialized database searches
- Communicating with units about electronic access issues
A team of Library Faculty at the Dana Medical Library carries out the
responsibilities of the Liaison Program. Liaisons may be reached by phone or
e-mail.
