Survey on Law Library Liaison Services

"This Brief examines the use of liaison services in academic law libraries. Very little has been written about the use of faculty liaison services, yet one sees it listed as a job requirement on many job postings to law-lib and other listservs. Many law school web sites advertise their liaison service or promote the use of a "Faculty Services Librarian." This survey was an attempt to elicit more information about how law schools are using liaison services. Seventy-two ABA accredited law school libraries responded to the survey, and fifty schools have a formal liaison program or a designated librarian for faculty services. Part two of this Brief contains a literature review. Part three provides the text of the survey. Part four summarizes the survey data, and part five contains appendices and job descriptions."--Publisher's website.
