Faculty Liaison Services
Subject Librarian Services, with a team-based approach, have been implemented in the new Rhodes University Library to provide equitable and comprehensive information services to Rhodes University researchers, academics and students across faculties and institutes. Guided by physical space planning and book collection sizes and taking into account staff and student numbers, four faculty specific service desks linked to research collections are operating in the new library. The Faculty Liaison Librarian teams will liaise proactively with departments, provide information services, actively engage in collection development & management, and present information literacy training.
The Faculty teams are:
Level 2 (South): Science & Pharmacy
Level 3 (North): Commerce
Level 3 (South): Humanities & Education
Level 4 (South): Humanities (including Music)
