Embedded Librarianship in a First Year Experience Program: Lessons Learned After 20 Years

 

Session Description:
Gain perspective on 20 years of embedded librarianship in a first year experience program. The program consists of teaching librarians lending their expertise in information literacy and academic research to support yearlong learning community courses grounded in a variety of disciplines: engineering, health sciences, social and behavioral sciences, and STEM. Hallmarks of this program are increased student retention and graduation rates, high levels of librarian involvement in curriculum design, and faculty advocating for collaboration with the library. Walk away from this session with a better understanding for designing, building, teaching, and assessing library instruction in collaboration with faculty partners.
