contents Social Network Analysis of Liaison Librarian Relationships Ellen Hampton Filgo Joshua Been Social Networks Network Analysis Librarians College Faculty Librarian Teacher Cooperation Academic Libraries Private Colleges This study employs social network analysis (SNA) to visualize the relationships between liaison librarians and faculty at a university library. To enhance targeted outreach and support library engagement, this research aims to identify strong and weak departmental ties, liaisons who are central to the network, and strongly connected faculty. Findings reveal that longer-tenured liaisons generally maintain stronger connections, while active participation in campus activities enhances relationship-building. The results underscore the significance of fostering long-term institutional ties and suggest targeted outreach for departments with weaker connections. Future research could broaden the scope by including data from other library staff, exploring undirected networks, and cross-institutional comparisons.
