Your liaison is Megan Bell.  

My goal is to make sure you are getting the help you need with library resources, databases, searches, and training.

The objectives of the liaison program are:

• to get information to faculty and staff
• to give us a better understanding of faculty and staff needs to support teaching, research and clinical care
• to provide a more personalized level of service
• to increase the visibility of the library’s resources and services across campus

The services liaisons provide include:

• library instruction for faculty and students including classroom sessions and one-on-one consultations
• research assistance
• assistance accessing and using library resources and services
• collection development advocacy
• AND much more!

In order for users to access many of the library's resources, it is necessary to create a persistent link (PURL) that will identify a user as being affiliated with UAB.

Adding the library proxy server snippet (http://uab.idm.oclc.org/login?url=) to the correct PURL for each database/journa lallows you to directly link someone to a subscription based resource like a journal article or online book. The snippet will authenticate UAB faculty, staff, students so they can access the resource remotely.

This guide explains how to create purls.
