 * Description**

Academic librarians have a long tradition of collaborating with classroom faculty in order to enhance their courses. This tradition continues today in the online environment. Faculty members have a service available to them where a librarian is a part of their online courses. An embedded librarian can provide a number of services in an online course to meet the reference and information literacy needs of online students. The development of library services within a course setting reflects an evolution in instructional mindset and learning.

As a result of this session, participants will: - Understand the concept and experiences of an embedded librarian - Understand how the course instructor and distance education librarian created an embedded online environment to support student learning - Understand a student's impressions of having an embedded librarian in an online environment - Apply ideas from the session to their own courses
