Contact Your Library Liaison!
| The Biomedical Library serves students, faculty, and staff in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Public Health; UCLA Medical Center; the Division of Life Sciences; and related institutes in biomedicine. We have grouped these schools, divisions, and institutes into six broad subject areas (see below). Each area has a group of librarians designated to serve as liaisons. This liaison model is meant to encourage communication about research, instruction, and library collections between the library and schools, divisions, and institutes. | Librarians are here to help with research, instruction and library collections! |
Regarding communication, library liaisons:
- understand the school, division, and/or institute’s information needs and represent those needs within the library; and
- promote the library’s resources and services to the school, division, and/or institute.
Regarding research, library liaisons are:
- well-informed on the subject matter and nature of the teaching and research conducted by the school, division, and/or institute; and
- proficient in print and electronic information resources within the given subject area.
Regarding instruction, library liaisons:
- work with faculty to develop course-integrated library instruction for classes; and
- hold one-on-one and group research consultations with current UCLA students, faculty, and staff.
Regarding library collections, library liaisons:
- evaluate collection strengths and weaknesses in designated areas; and
- purchase items for the collection, as well as evaluate purchase recommendations from students, faculty and staff.
Contact your library liaison to ask questions about library resources and services, schedule instructional sessions for your classes, or suggest materials to purchase. We want to hear from you!
