ARLD Day 2026

One does not simply walk into a team-based liaison model. In this lightning talk, we'll share our process for transitioning from an individual liaison model to a team-based liaison model for one college (University of Minnesota Extension) in order to more evenly distribute workload. We'll share the informal research we did, the tools and workflows we considered, what we implemented, and how it's going. This project is a pilot to determine if a team-based model might work well more broadly in the Sciences, Agriculture, and Engineering department at University of Minnesota Libraries.
