Liaison Services
As liaisons to academic departments, Libraries faculty members work with faculty across campus to provide services and support for instruction, information literacy, scholarly communication, and data. The Libraries offers repository services for your scholarship, Purdue e-Pubs, and research data, PURR. Please contact your departmental liaison for more information and assistance.

Instruction & Information Literacy ( http://www.lib.purdue.edu/infolit )
Libraries faculty can assist instructors with determining the best way to teach students to use information to support course learning goals. Informed learning is a pedagogic approach to teaching students to use information to learn about subject content. It is based on the idea that rather than information literacy being taught as a subject of its own, learning to use information should be part of the process of understanding a subject.
As departments are identifying courses or co-curricular activities to meet the Core Curriculum embedded outcomes Libraries faculty can assist with identifying how students will meet the information literacy outcomes. Liaisons can help determine what embedded information literacy is for the fields covered by the department, through standards, policy documents, etc., but also discussion with curriculum committees, etc. Liaisons can also assist with addressing the embedded information literacy requirement, e.g., courses, service learning experience, etc. , where possibly a already exist that meets or can be adapted to meet the embedded information literacy criteria, or is there an opportunity to develop something new?
Data Services (http://d2c2.lib.purdue.edu/ )
As you may know, emphasis on data management has been an increasing focus in research and funding. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the OSTP, and many funding agencies require data management plans for all proposals. Libraries faculty can provide support through Data Management Plan ( DMP) consultations, identifying metadata standards, offering an online data-sharing platform through PURR, and providing general data management guidance.
PURR, or the Purdue University Research Repository, provides an online, collaborative working space and data-sharing platform to support the data management needs of Purdue researchers and their collaborators. Go to PURR
Liaisons can also discuss library collections, alternative publishing models such as Open Access, how to deposit into Purdue e-Pubs and PURR, and other services offered by Purdue Libraries. Please contact your liaison for more information.
