Virtual embedded librarianship program: a personal view * - Journal of the Medical Library Association


Description

This commentary provides an overview of the author's experience as a virtual embedded librarian with the University of South Alabama College of Nursing. His involvement has increased every semester, and most recently, he has been assigned as the solo librarian to classes with 300-500 students. As a virtual embedded librarian, he has never interacted with an enrolled master of science in nursing (MSN)/doctor of nursing practice (DNP) student face to face; however, he has spoken live via telephone with students throughout the US and abroad, including from Canada, Germany, and Japan. Herein, he presents a brief overview of the embedded concept. In addition to summarizing his responsibilities, he discusses the challenges that he has faced and best practices for developing an embedded librarianship program. The embedded model allows librarians to engage users where they are. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details
