As liaison, the Engineering Librarian acts as a bridge representing the library to the College of Engineering and the needs of the College of Engineering to the library. You will develop and grow relationships with students, faculty, instructors, staff, and researchers in the fast-growing College of Engineering, seeking opportunities for the Library to support experiential teaching and learning as well as interdisciplinary research focused on finding solutions to global challenges in health, sustainability, and security.
