After a brief summary of the history of liaison programs in libraries, the
panelists will give an overview of models at their institutions.  Further
discussion topics with an open forum will include: developing best
practices; partnering and collaboration with various library and
non-library groups on campus; the changing liaison model; what new roles
are appearing for liaisons; how are the changes being developed and
managed; and what types of assessments and tools being put in place to
measure the success of these new programs.
