Do you need some group or individualized training in our library resources?

Let your department’s liaison coordinate that.

We’re working to understand your needs better through our Library Liaison Program. The purpose of the Library Liaison Program is to establish ongoing partnerships and enhance communication with the various departments and units within Kootenai Medical Center, in order to facilitate collection development, instruction services, and reference services.

Your department’s liaison can answer questions about the library, inform staff of library services, programs and resources, and arrange for any database training needs your department might have.

Contact Beth Hill, library manager, at X2483, or at bhill@kmclibrary.org, to connect with your liaison.
