In my experience, it's a combination of good PR and a learning curve.

Good PR: getting to know the faculty (going to the meetings is a great
start) and having them think of you when they have something come up.
Checking in on them--interviewing them, showing interest, etc.

Learning curve: when they see that you can make things happen for them,
they will start cooperating. If you have a weekly newsletter or web news
that highlights something of theirs and they get media or student
attention, they will know next time that your endeavors are helpful. If
they notice that *other* faculty are getting more attention, more press,
whatever, they will also start learning to come to you.

Another good resource is faculty assistants--would they be able to help
intermediate?

Best,

Debra.
