Library Liaisons & Department Representatives
All of the University of Toledo librarians serve as liaisons to one or more colleges, departments, and/or programs. They work together and with their constituent user groups to identify and retain scholarly resources that enhance the Libraries’ collections and support the curricular and research needs of the University community. They welcome all purchase recommendations as well as the opportunity to discuss any collection issues. Click here to view the current liaison list and corresponding contact information.
