TRU Library is implementing a liaison librarian program to forge better communication between the library and the various academic departments at TRU and to help us meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of the TRU community.
Goals of the Liaison Librarian Program:
- To work with faculty to ensure that the Library is meeting their teaching, learning, and research needs in their respective subject areas.
- To promote information literacy and assist students and faculty to make effective use of library resources in support of teaching, learning and research.
- To liaise with faculty on library-related course development and delivery.
- To ensure relevant, current and sustainable library collection development.
- To provide advice to faculty on library professional related issues.
Each academic department has a designated liaison librarian who will be your primary contact person for any questions regarding: the library’s resources and services. Elizabeth Rennie (erennie@tru.ca) will continue to be the primary contact for all library instruction requests.
We look forward to working with you in this new way.
