What do Liaison Librarians Do? An Exploration into the Tasks and Perceptions of the Role

Abstract

Liaison librarianship is one of the most common roles in academic libraries, but it is one which is not as central to LIS education as expected. Given the significant investment students make obtaining their master’s degrees, programs need to ensure that students are well prepared for the job market; however, studies indicate that many LIS students and professionals do not feel their programs have adequately prepared them for it. This work explores the main tasks performed by academic librarians as well as how these professionals perceive their role, with the purpose of providing information useful for LIS faculty in curriculum creation.
