Join Fyiane Nsilo–Swai, Research Services Librarian for the Social Sciences, for an engaging session on how UConn Library liaisons can support your teaching, research, and graduate students. Drawing from her 25+ years of experience and current work with departments in the Social Sciences, Fyiane will share real-world examples of how faculty and graduate students can collaborate with their liaison librarian. Learn about services like course-integrated instruction, research consultations, embedded librarianship, and more. Whether you’re new to UConn or looking to deepen your engagement with the library, this session will highlight practical ways to make the most of your liaison relationship at both the individual and department-wide level.
