Library:Help for Faculty/Research and Teaching Support

From UBC Wiki

Subject Librarians

Subject Librarians serve as the primary liaison between the Library and the academic departments on campus. They provide skilled reference assistance, manage the library's collections and provide instructional support to faculty. Subject librarians are also available to work with you to assist in course planning.

  • This ensures that the Library is aware of new research and learning priorities.
  • Collaborations of this nature also ensure that the Library has the resources your students need to complete their assignments and that you need to pursue your research interests.

For more information on our teaching & learning services and activities, see Teaching and Learning.

Your liaison can also assist you by:

  • Alerting you to new resources in your discipline
  • Showing you how to use current awareness tools
  • Suggesting resources for your research
  • Purchasing materials relevant to your research. You can also suggest a book or other materials using our online form
