Library liaisons often have primary jobs that do not involve
collection development, but their familiarity with collection
practices makes all the difference in faculty relations. And time
pressures mean that on-boarding needs to be as streamlined as
possible. This concise, field-tested training manual will put your
liaison on solid footing. Plus, end of the chapter prompts make it
easy to tailor your approach to local practices. With the help of
this resource, your new liaison will get up to speed on such topics
as tracking budget balances in assigned departments;
differentiating between the needs of an individual faculty member
and their department; how to say no to monograph requests;
benchmarking titles with peer institutions or coordinating within a
consortium; 17 questions to ask when evaluating a database;
considerations when making weeding decisions; four key
conversations to have annually between liaisons and collection
development librarians; and gathering data for program
accreditation reports. Utilizing several dozen real-world examples
which show liaison decisions and actions in practice, this guide
will be a useful tool for collection development librarians to
streamline training processes for library liaisons.
