Amazed, appreciative, or ambivalent? Student and faculty perceptions of librarians embedded in online courses
Subject
academic libraries; embedded librarianship; information literacy; faculty-librarian collaboration; course management systemAbstract
With the continuing trend toward university courses being offered online, there is corresponding need for academic librarians to support students in those digital spaces. We developed a sustainable model for embedding librarians to provide research support in online courses, and then investigated the impact we were having on student learning outcomes and what students and faculty think about our efforts. This paper outlines our model and presents survey feedback from students combined with user data from our course management system (CMS) to discuss how well we are doing and how this evidence can inform our embedded librarian service going forward.
