我想請問一下學科館員(subject specialist)以及連繫館員(ACADEMIC LIAISON LIBRARIANS)有什麼差異? 聯繫館員是否有明確的定義?

有關liaison與subject specialist之定義，答覆如下。其中之不同，在於subject specialist比較強調學科背景，並要取得學位。

一、
（一）
liaison
In academic libraries， librarians are often assigned one or more academic departments for which they serve as intermediary between the teaching faculty and the library. Liaison responsibilities may include bibliographic instruction， collection development (including reference and electronic resources)， current awareness， and faculty training in the use of library resources. Most liaison librarians have academic preparation or at least some level of expertise in the disciplines they serve.
【liaison為圖書館與教值員之間的聯絡協調者，其主要業務包括：書目教學、館藏發展、新知通報、圖書館利用教育，liaison至少要具備一些學科專業背景】

（二）
subject specialist
A librarian qualified by virtue of specialized knowledge and experience to select materials and provide bibliographic instruction and reference services to users in a specific subject area or academic discipline (or subdiscipline). In academic libraries， subject specialists often hold a second master's degree in their field of specialization. Also refers to a librarian trained in subject analysis.
【subject specialist需具備學科知識，主要負責某一專門學科之館藏發展、書目教學、參考服務，subject specialist需有第二個專門學科的碩士學位】
