A History of the Embedded Librarian Program at Odum Library

Abstract

Reference librarians at Valdosta State University’s Odum Library serve as embedded librarians in many online classes. Librarians enroll in courses through the university’s learning management system (LMS) to interact with students online. This small but growing service enhances the library instruction possibilities for online classes. Embedded librarian service is one way librarians and professors collaborate to provide timely and relevant research assistance to students.
