New book: Embedded Librarians: Moving Beyond One-Shot Instruction

ACRL has announced the publication of Embedded Librarians: Moving Beyond One-Shot Instruction, edited by Cassandra Kvenild and Kaijsa Calkins of the University of Wyoming. This collection of 16 insightful essays is the first book-length treatment of the growing embedded librarianship movement. Embedded Librarians: Moving Beyond One-Shot Instruction showcases strategies for successfully embedding librarians and library services across higher education. By joining varied groups of patrons and assisting their research over the long haul, embedded librarians commit themselves to service in a very different way than they did in traditional one-shot bibliographic instruction. Case studies and reports on projects from a wide variety of institutional types and sizes demonstrate ways the embedded model helps academic librarians become valuable collaborators, trusted instructors and partners in shaping curriculum and institutional goals beyond the boundaries of the library
