THE EMBEDDED LIBRARIAN: INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR TAKING KNOWLEDGE WHERE IT'S NEEDED

摘要

The Embedded Librarian: Innovative Strategies for Taking Knowledge Where It's Needed is a valuable handbook for those embarking on an embedded librarian program or those who have embraced embedded librarianship and are looking for new ideas. Embedded librarianship is defined as librarians developing ongoing working partnerships with faculty and students and making a commitment to the user-group's goals and objectives. This is an opportunity for librarians to be seen as part of a team, visibly adding value to the learning experience. Embedded librarianship changes the relationship from one-time transactions to ongoing projects. Librarians deliver highly customized and value-added contributions to groups, which can be accomplished virtually as well as in person.
