An Embedded Librarian works with your class either online through the class website or in face-to-face library meetings. The librarian can assist your students in using library resources more effectively and in teaching students how to find and evaluate information.
To learn more about the Embedded Librarian Program or to request a librarian for your course contact Leigh Stanfield, Instructional Services Librarian/Coordinator, at extension 4466 or dlthompson@una.edu or you may email the library instruction team at libraryinstruction@una.edu
The program gives professors teaching online courses or face-to-face classes with an online component the option to add a librarian to their course. The librarian is then able to interact directly with students via the course website in Canvas. Librarians are able to answer research related questions and post relevant information to assist students in utilizing library resources.
We can also work with you to create customized content for your course and post links to existing resources within the course website. This gives students ready access to the library's resources and services.
Having a librarian in the course allows content to be tailored to the needs of the class.
