Jacobs  \nAbstract  \nA reference/instruction librarian used targeted outreach to furnish library services to faculty and students while assigned to work in the College of Education during a library renovation project. Due to the success of this temporary assignment, the author has subsequently maintained regular office hours in the College to provide research consultations for faculty and students, collaborate on collection development, and continue outreach efforts resulting in increased requests for research assistance and course-integrated information literacy instruction. The benefits and challenges of embedded librarianship in an academic department are also discussed.  \nIntroduction  \nDue to the library’s renovation project scheduled to begin in January, 2009, I needed to find a vacant office on campus in which to work for the duration of the project. I was uneasy about where I would work and what I would be able to accomplish outside the library during that period of time. The Dean of Library Services contacted his counterpart in the College of Education (COE) . A vacant office was quickly found. I was about to begin an unexpectedly fruitful experience as an embedded librarian.  \nBackground  \nDuring an extended strategic planning process in spring 2007, one of the ten goals identified by the library faculty was a desire to build a closer connection with the teaching faculty to help foster student success (“Library Strategic Plan,” 2007) . The Dean had a long-standing interest in expanding the library’s liaison program for collection development into a model providing library services and outreach within an academic department.  \nIn 2009, nine faculty librarians served as liaison to 33 academic departments. The liaison works directly with a departmental faculty representative to facilitate additions to the collection in his/her assigned areas, as well as evaluating the collection. In recent years, ongoing budget problems in California have necessitated a  \nreduction of the library’s budget for collections. As a result, liaisons also work closely with departmental faculty, seeking guidance when periodical subscriptions and standing orders must be cancelled.  \nThe academic departments are grouped into six Colleges containing as few as four and as many as fourteen disciplines ( CSU Stanislaus, 2008b) . The academic departments are not always located in the same physical space, making the College structure somewhat unwieldy. As a result, the Dean had not moved forward on his idea of embedding a librarian within a College.  \nThe COE was perhaps the best candidate for a pilot project of embedding a librarian within an academic department since Teacher Education, Advanced Studies in Education, and Liberal Studies were located within close proximity and worked together frequently on various initiatives ( CSU Stanislaus, 2008a; CSU Stanislaus, 2008b) . Kinesiology (formerly Physical Education and Health) was located in the Field House across campus but also collaborated with the other departments in the College ( CSU Stanislaus, 2008b) .  \nLiterature Review  \nLibrarians can be embedded within a course, an academic department or college structure, or the university as a whole. Dewey (2005) defines  \nEducation Libraries, Volume 33, Number 2, Winter 2010  \nembedding as a concept in which the one distinct group is integrated with another (p. 6) . In order for librarians to provide services relevant to teaching, learning, and scholarship, collaboration with patrons is required.“Direct and purposeful interactions” with patrons enhances that collaboration (Dewey, 2005, p. 6) . Shumaker’s (2009) definition differs slightly, focusing on the placement of a reference librarian where the user is located to “teach research skills whenever and wherever instruction is needed”(p. 239) . By embedding a librarian in an academic department, the library benefits through ","cbCaiaR2KZbj5QCg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaR2KZbj5QCg","pdf",105917,"English","# Introduction\n## Background\n## Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What problem prompted the embedded librarian placement in the first place?\",\"answer\":\"The library renovation project starting in January 2009 required finding a vacant office on campus for the duration, which led to an embedded librarian opportunity in the College of Education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does liaison work support collection development and faculty needs?\",\"answer\":\"Liaisons work with departmental faculty representatives to facilitate additions to the collection, evaluate holdings, and—under budget constraints—seek guidance when subscriptions and standing orders must be cancelled.\"},{\"question\":\"What approaches are described for embedding librarians in academic settings?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains embedding librarians within courses, academic departments/college structures, or the university as a whole, including both face-to-face instruction and online course integration through platforms such as Blackboard.\"}]","Embedded Librarianship is a Winning Proposition | PDF",1792094598]
