The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has released a report on liaison librarian roles as a special issue of Research Library Issues (RLI). Guest edited by ARL’s Karla Hahn, this special issue of RLI focuses on the evolution of new roles and institutional strategies for liaison work.
Five articles identify emerging roles and consider the challenges of developing corresponding liaison capabilities. Authors from Minnesota, Berkeley, MIT, British Columbia, and NYU each reflect on their experiences and offer insights to fellow travellers mapping out their own routes to a new vision of liaison work.
Research Library Issues is a Bimonthly Report from ARL, CNI, and SPARC (RLI). The freely available, online-only publication is released six times per year by the Association of Research Libraries. RLI focuses on the major issues that affect the ability of research libraries to meet the academic and research needs of the diverse communities they serve.
ARL, a nonprofit organisation of 123 research libraries in North America, aims to influence the changing environment of scholarly communication and the public policies that affect research libraries and the diverse communities they serve. It seeks to advance the goals of its member research libraries; provide leadership in public and information policy to the scholarly and higher education communities; foster the exchange of ideas and expertise; and shape a future environment that leverages its interests with those of allied organisations.
