Subject Liaisons
Subject Liaisons for Academic Departments and Programs
At Purchase College Library, academic departments and programs have a designated liaison. The liaisons are subject specialists who can help you do research, teach an instruction session for your class, advocate for your department’s interests within the Library, and facilitate requests for ebooks and other materials in your discipline for the Library’s collections. If you’re not sure who to ask, begin by contacting your liaison.
