Academic Library Representatives

School Liaison and Teaching

At the University of Aberdeen each School has a Library Representative who administers a Library Resource Allocation Budget and liaises with the Library through our team of Information Consultants.

We rely on academic staff to inform us of the resources you require to support your research and teaching programmes. The team is available to discuss your information needs and how we can best meet them.
