Higher education institutions increasingly utilize learning management systems (LMS) to teach courses and programs in hybrid or online-only formats. Providing information literacy instruction in these emerging digital environments poses challenges to librarians as the delivery of instruction requires familiarity with navigating an LMS and extensive technological skills. Embedded librarianship is one possible solution, but sustaining this approach requires substantial time and effort. During the summer of 2013, a task force of librarians at San José State University (SJSU) met these instructional challenges by developing a suite of online information literacy modules. As a result, all SJSU librarians, in consultation withteaching faculty, can select from a variety of standalone, customizable modules to embed within the campus LMS. This case study showcases the task force's process and initial outcomes, which can serve as a model for librarians encountering similar challenges and making comparable efforts toward embedded librarianship at their institutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
