Ideas for innovation

• An embedded librarian provides better access to the librarian and to the library’s resources. (Hedreen, 2005 )

• “Embedding librarians brings the learning process in closer proximity to the scholarship on which the disciplines are based and to those that service it-librarians.” (Dewey, 2004)

• “It is used to describe the work of an academic librarian who participates in an academic course on an ongoing basis, teaching information literacy skills.”(Models of Embedded Librarianship Final Report, SLA, 2007)

• “(Embedded librarianship) emphasizes the importance of forming a strong working relationship between the librarian and a group or team of people who need the librarian’s information expertise.”(Shumaker, 2012)
