Embedded Librarianship in Online Courses
$250.00
Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
Thirty two percent of college students were taking at least one online course in 2011 (Allen & Seaman, 2013). Most accrediting agencies stipulate that library services available to on-campus students must be made available to online students. This four -week course will discuss ways librarians may embed their skills through reference and research. Discussion will turn to transferring embedded librarianship into the online class using team collaboration, instruction, and guest lecturing. An examination of the librarian as both a subject matter liaison and copyright point person during the design and development of online courses is explored. The course concludes with an analysis of assessing embedded librarian efforts. This asynchronous course is relevant to instruction librarians, outreach librarians, and embedded librarians who seek ways to infuse library resources and services to their growing virtual campuses.
- Module 1: Embedded Librarianship in Research and Reference
- Module 2: Embedded Librarianship through Team Collaboration, Instruction, or Guest Lecturing
- Module 3: Embedded Librarianship during Online Course Design and Development
- Module 4: Assessing Embedded Librarianship Efforts
This course can be taken as one of the courses in our eight-course Certificate in Library Instruction, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.

Lacey Torge –
I took this class right before I was assigned multiple sections of online English 101. I can’t say what a lifesaver it was. I’ve referred to the materials often and as I learn more, the more I appreciate the foundation it gave me. What a lifesaver.
