Workload of faculty liaisons to the library
From: Darren Hall <DHall_at_marymountpv.edu>
Hello all,
I recently told our faculty senate that we are interested in developing a program of
faculty liaisons to the library, primarily to assist with CD. A faculty member asked me
about the expected time commitment that such an appointment involved, and I did not have
an answer for him. Has anyone on the list ever provided faculty with a formal or informal
estimate of the workload involved in serving as a liaison to the library? Are there any
institutions that provide release time for their library liaisons? If you have such a
program at your institution, I would also be interested in hearing about how it is
determined who becomes a liaison (e.g. appointed by dept. chair, elected by dept., asked
by library to serve). Thanks in advance for your help.
