Abstract
The Library Liaison System at the Hong Kong Baptist University Library was established more than thirty years ago. The purpose of the System is to promote the library services and foster communication between the Library and academic units. Over the years, this system has become a necessary part of the academic activities on campus. This article describes the purpose and scope of the Library Liaison System at the Hong Kong Baptist University Library, and the role and responsibilities of its subject liaison librarians. This article also describes how liaison librarians conduct their work through engagement, communication, research consultation, user instruction, and collection development. In conclusion, this article discusses the challenges of the Library's transformation of its Liaison System.
