Embedded
Librarianship in
        the LMS
ALA Webinar Notes
Rationale for
 Embedding in the LMS
 LMS is a community space
 It’s where they are already
 Being embedded in the LMS is proactive
 2/3 of face-to-face classes also use the
 LMS (so what about embedded
 librarianship…?)
Top 3 student-used
    resources that grew in
    the last year
   E-portfolio
   Web-based citation tools
   E-books
Comments
    Having never actually done an online
    course or successfully gotten a professor
    to invite me to be an active participant
    in their module, I was hoping for more
    practical “how to sell the embedded”
    approach.

    After going through lengthy rationale
    and research about embedded
    librarianship itself, they did give some
    interesting tips. What I think will work best
    are highlighted…
(marketing tips provided by presenters)
Also how about…?
 “Won’t take your class time”
 “Easier to assess and gauge
 participation”
 “Much of what they will access is
 already online”
    What do you think? How
    can we get our faculty to
    invite us to participate in
    their on-the-map courses?
(assessment…obviously)
Thoughts on assessment
We need to be bold with our
assessment and not shy away
from taking a hard, critical look
at our approaches. We shouldn’t
be afraid of redesigning
instructional materials for an
embedded environment.
So, was it useful?
    The webinar was useful in elaborating
    on the reasons why librarians should take
    an embedded approach but did not
    adequately address what to do once
    you’re there.

   Our approach (embedded in mapped
    courses) seems to be unique and so we
    will likely have to forge our own path…
Final questions…
  Can    we create targeted, unique
     content for all of our classes that we can
     easily embed? Can we utilize Web 2.0
     technologies and social media to get
     students to do more creative work?

    Will students retain skills more with this
     approach? Will they recognize the library
     as a valuable spot in their academic
     careers/lives as learners?
Final questions…
     Can/should we think bigger? Embed in
     all courses? Is LMS-embedded
     librarianship the future?
