The Life & Times
of an Embedded Librarian
PRESENTER:
Galadriel Chilton, Electronic Resources
Librarian, University of Wisconsin - La Crosse
SESSION DESCRIPTION:
In Fall 2007, Galadriel was an embedded librarian for four sections
of a Communications Studies class, and in Spring 2008 she
was the embedded librarian for 3 sections of the same course. This
presentation reviews what she did, technology used, and
why she believes - based on anecdotal data, student bibliographies,
and student self-evaluations - being an embedded librarian
is an effective means of teaching information literacy and introducing
students to academic library services.
