Description: "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.
