Connect Your Department with Dedicated Library Support
Academic libraries thrive when faculty and librarians work together to support student success and research excellence. This Academic Library Faculty Liaison Request Form streamlines communication between faculty members and library staff, making it easy to request collection development, schedule information literacy sessions, and establish ongoing liaison relationships.
Whether you're a department chair looking to strengthen your program's research resources, a professor planning a course that requires library instruction, or a faculty member identifying gaps in the collection, this template helps you connect with the right library specialist quickly and clearly.
Designed for Higher Education Workflows
This form captures essential information about departmental needs, course objectives, and collection priorities—all in one place. Faculty can request specific materials, propose new database subscriptions, schedule instruction sessions, and outline subject areas that need attention. Library staff receive structured requests that include budget context, timing requirements, and pedagogical goals, making it easier to prioritize and respond effectively.
Automate Library Services with Stepper
Once a faculty member submits their request, Stepper can route it to the appropriate subject librarian, create tasks in your library management system, send calendar invites for instruction sessions, and keep both parties updated on collection orders and request status. You can build workflows that automatically schedule follow-up meetings, notify stakeholders when new resources are available, and track liaison engagement across departments—all without manual email chains or spreadsheet tracking.
Perfect for Academic Libraries and Research Institutions
This template is ideal for university libraries, college libraries, and research institutions seeking to improve faculty-librarian collaboration. It's designed to fit the workflows of instruction librarians, collection development coordinators, subject specialists, and library directors who want to provide responsive, department-specific support that directly impacts teaching and scholarship.
