Taking the Mountain to Mohammed: The Effect of Librarian Visits to Faculty Members on Their use of the Library

Pages 145-159 | Published online: 20 Oct 2010
 

Abstract

Much has been written on liaison programs and faculty perceptions thereof, but little has been written on the effectiveness of specific liaison activities. This article contains the results of a survey that asked faculty to indicate whether meeting individually with a librarian changed their use of library services and resources. Although it was sent to only a small number of faculty (30), 40% of those who were contacted responded to the survey. Of those who responded, 92% indicated that meeting with a librarian had increased their use of at least one library resource or service.
