Abstract

Although embedded librarianship has received recent attention, it has not been well-defined within academic literature. This article defines academic embedded library services and identifies some key factors of successful programs with emphasis on communication and collaboration. The history of the term “embedded librarianship,” has its roots in branch libraries, and the methods librarians use to provide service to their users in person and online are discussed.
