Library Liaisons

Librarians enjoy a collaborative relationship with National University faculty. We are here to support you and your students in effectively using Library resources. We encourage exploration of learning resources, scholarship, information literacy, and reflective practices for students wherever they are located.

Please feel free to contact us for assistance with research projects and curriculum development, or invite us to meet with you and your students to talk about using information effectively in your discipline. We also welcome suggestions for new materials that the Library should acquire.
