Liaison Librarian
Liaison Librarians
A liaison librarian is a professional librarian who acts as a link between the HSL and a specific health sciences specialty/college. Liaison librarians can partner with faculty, staff, students and clinicians to support teaching and research endeavors, as well as provide instructional sessions. The HSL has liaison librarians for the Colleges of Optometry, Dentistry, Public Health, Medicine (including the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences) and Nursing at The Ohio State University.
HSL liaison librarians can:
- Assist with search strategy development and refinement to find relevant journal and research literature in biomedical databases
- Recommend resources to meet your particular information needs
- Provide instructional sessions to classes, clinical groups/departments or other groups on searching the literature, managing citations, accessing library resources, and using information to support an evidence-based approach
- Provide consultation on topics related to basic copyright issues, research impact metrics such as citation counts and h-index, open access options and public access mandates
- Refer you to other helpful library services to support research, education and patient care
