Embedded Librarian Program 2012

The Embedded Librarian program will provide the following services:

• The librarian is added to the online course and has access to its content/syllabus/discussion.
• The librarian takes an initiative to provide research assistance, as the course progresses and the research projects begin. This may happen formally or through various discussion threads, informally.
• The librarian will provide a document to the instructors to be loaded into Blackboard identifying her services, etc so the students understand that a librarian is available on-line with them.

What support the Embedded Librarian expects from the instructors

• The instructors must add the librarian to the blackboard course, with access to the discussion board.
• The Embedded Librarian services are flexible. The instructors must provide guidelines related to the depth of the Embedded Librarian’s participation in the course.
• The instructors must provide information to the librarian, related to their reference needs, as the course progresses.
• The instructors refers questions/problems to the librarian, as appropriate. These questions will, when they require library research assistance, be forwarded to the librarian.

What future Embedded Librarian programs may include:

The standard information literacy workshops, provided by the library staff, would be provided to the students through this online format, either sequentially (as the course progresses) or as a unit, at a specifically designated time.
