Please join at 12-1 p.m., Thursday, October 4, in E403 Paterno Library.

This presentation will broaden the reference approach by considering embedded librarians as a form of personalized reference for students. It will provide examples of its current success through intentional and meaningful collaborations for designers, course authors, course instructors, and librarians. The customizable program allows for a robust librarian presence
within a course; library instruction and resources are fully tailored to student outcomes and are easily accessible within the Canvas learning environment. Ultimately, these strategies create
a low-risk environment for students to practice their discipline-related information research skills as they progress through course projects. Students now create high-quality papers for online courses, creating a win-win situation for students and faculty! The online learning librarian, Torrie Raish, will be delivering this presentation.

Participants can expect to:
1. Articulate the shared benefit the embedded librarianship creates between instructors, instructional designers, and librarians to enhance student outcomes.

2. Identify communication methods, instructional strategies, and assessments created by the online embedded team to support student learning.

3. Explain how the Embedded Librarian Program has improved the overall quality of research-based assignments using technical components such as research guides, library learning modules, and video tutorials.
