Library Guide for Faculty & Staff: Embedding a Librarian

What is a Embedded Librarian?

An embedded librarian can reduce library anxiety for your students. They can be added to your Canvas course shell for a given amount of time and can help your students with their research. A librarian that is added into your course shell can:

• Answer topics relating to research in a discussion forum
• Create resource pages, tutorials and quizzes for your class
• Collaborate together on the best resources to assist students
• Provide information about the library's databases, eBooks and services
• Help students narrow topics and brainstorm ideas for research
• Identify keywords and help with developing a search strategy for a topic
• Teach students about credible sources, peer reviewed articles, and develop citations
