Library Liaisons

What is the Liaison Program?

McDermott Library’s Liaison Program assists with faculty and students’ research by working with UTD’s different schools of study. This is done by assigning a librarian to each school or program. The goal is to work with faculty to help fulfill all library and research needs.

What can your Liaison do for you?

Classroom Instruction on proper research techniques and use of library resources for your students.

Meet One-on-One to discuss your information needs, and help you find the right resources.

Inform your liaison about your program, and any redesigns or additions you make.
