Liaison roles are generally commonplace in medical and health
sciences libraries as librarians strive to develop and enhance
relationships and collaborations with clinicians and faculty. While
the liaison of the past acted primarily as the main contact between
respective departments and the library providing a facilitative
function (e.g. arranging for instruction sessions, inviting
feedback on the collection, providing updates on new programs and
services, etc.), today's liaison activities are more proactive and
robust. The Engaged Health Sciences Library Liaison features ten
program descriptions that illustrate how the reach and scope of
librarians in the medical/healthcare arena has changed dramatically
since the inception of liaison services. The program outcomes
described: illustrate a direct impact on curriculum development,
address new information types with new access and preservation
technologies, expand stakeholder groups, create research and
teaching collaborations, and enhance functional roles. This
authoritative book copublished by the Medical Library Association
demonstrates that collaboration and communication, the basic tenets
of a liaison program, breed innovative programs and services that
are relevant, current, and valuable.
