Starting Your Research: Subject Liaison Librarian

A basic research guide to taking you through the library research process.

What subject liaisons can do for you: 

  • Develop library resources, instruction, and services for course curriculum.
  • Keep you abreast of advances and trends in scholarly communications.
  • Provide you with research help.
  • Assist faculty with strategies to locate and use Open Educational Resources (OER)
  • Develop library collections to support the curriculum and community
Each reference librarian at NJIT is assigned as a liaison to a number of different departments on campus and acts as a single point of contact for individuals in those departments with more in-depth or subject-specific needs.
