Session Description

Generously Sponsored By: Simon Fraser University Library

In June 2015, the libraries at Cornell University, Columbia University, and the University of Toronto, partnered with the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) on a library liaison institute to bring together a group of fifty liaison librarians. The goal of the institute was to explore the future of liaison work and discuss how to measure its impact. The day-and-a-half program focused on conversations and group exercises aimed at connecting what liaisons value in their work to University and Library administrators’ views of the role of the library and how research practices might be influencing it. Using the data collected during the institute, as well as various next steps undertaken at the three institutions since, the talk will focus on what some of the elements of successful liaison engagement are.

Presenter, Kornelia Tancheva, is the Associate University Librarian for Research and Learning Services at Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York. Prior to that she was the Director of the Olin and Uris Libraries and the Library Annex. Her research interests are in assessment, user centered design of services, as well as drama and literature. She holds a PhD in drama from Cornell University, and an MLS from Syracuse University.
