The Library has had a successful liaison program with the individual schools on campus for many years. A faculty librarian is assigned as a liaison to each school on campus. The liaisons provide onsite and web-based instruction for the faculty, staff and students of UMB, offer general classes as part of the HS/HSL class schedule, provide consulting services for faculty and students, and support campus research through participation in development of print and online collections, among many other activities.
Our program has been expanded to include a new component - working with the schools to provide health information outreach in communities throughout the state of Maryland. The liaisons work collaboratively with their individual schools to provide community-based health information outreach. For more information, please contact me or your school’s library liaison.
