Role of Library Liaison Officers

Library Liaison Officers (LLO) are usually appointed by Schools within each Faculty to collaborate with the Faculty Librarian in meeting the goals of the Faculty's Information Resources and Access Policy. Requests for purchase from Faculty members are forwarded to the Acquisitions Librarian via the LLO.

The monthly Library Resources statement is forwarded to the LLO, who is the contact point for this information for School colleagues.

Other responsibilities of the LLO's role include :

Acting as the disseminator of New Titles Information to School colleagues
Prioritising orders if funds are not available for all titles selected for purchase
Authorisation of all orders. Orders will be returned to the School if not signed by the LLO or the Head of School
Collaboration with the Faculty Librarian in the evaluation and review of serial subscriptions, and cancellation (if necessary) of serial titles
Negotiation of School information and training needs with the Faculty Librarian
