Succeeding with Embedded Librarianship

摘要

EMBEDDED PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THEIR ACTIVITIES, PROVIDE VALUE-ADDED SERVICES, EVALUATE THEIR WORK AND ENGAGE WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SEGMENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS THAT DON'T. In 2007, SLA presented a research grant to DavidShumaker and Mary Talley for the purpose of identifying and studying the factors required for embedded librarian programs to become and remain successful. Through this project, the researchers hoped to gain a better understanding of the similarities anddifferences among embedded library services programs and develop insights into practices that enable them to succeed.
