DePaul University Library supports faculty teaching and research, and also partners with faculty to promote student success by providing research help and instruction, as well as access to resources.
Each department is assigned a library liaison. Liaisons can assist faculty with questions about library resources and services, provide assistance with a research project, collaborate on the design of assignments requiring information skills, or discuss suggestions for new materials for the library collection.
