Librarian Services

As a partner in the UM health sciences community, the Library seeks to improve information access and knowledge transfer through the creation of innovative programs and services. Our Liaison Librarian Service aims to create highly productive collaborations and close working relationships between liaison librarians and specific academic and clinical units. Liaison Librarians are a vital channel for communication about information resources and skills as well as an essential component of the teaching, learning, and research activities for all faculty, students, and staff.
