Meet the Academic Engagement Librarian to find out more

My role is to identify priorities and needs for your work and department that MU Library can assist you with, or help make changes that will benefit you, your department and your students.

I work in the following areas:

  • Keeping informed of academic work in MU, facilitating connections between academics, MU Library teams & collections.
  • Promoting the work of MU Library to faculty and seeking collaborative opportunities between faculty & MU Library.
  • Attending faculty meetings to highlight the work of MU Library and reporting issues back
  • Providing basic information and guidance to faculty on resources, collection development & services and connecting you with my expert colleagues.
  • Facilitating database training and receiving subscription requests for academic resources for faculty
  • Connecting faculty to the range of MU Library services available: copyright, teaching & learning, collection development and more
  • Meeting Library Reps regularly and keeping in touch about new developments
  • Meeting with departments and Head's of Departments to align our work with departmental needs.
