“…Many studies have been conducted to investigate different aspects of embedded librarianship practice in academic libraries. They have often looked at the practice and impact of embedded librarianship in regards to library and information service provision to the students and staff (Alverson et al, 2019;Bernstein et al, 2020;Luca, 2019;Mensah and Owusu-Ansah, 2018;Shumaker, 2012;Tumbleson, 2016). Some studies (Bewick and Corrall, 2010;Brown et al, 2015;Chanetsa, 2014;Oyelude, 2013;Saunders, 2020) have partially examined librarians' skills and knowledge.…”

The present study examines the extent of academic librarians’ teaching, research, communication, and interpersonal skills; key competencies required for the successful implementation of embedded librarianship in Tanzania. A mixed research approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches, was deployed to guide the collection of data from 166 librarians and 6 directors. Whereas cross-section survey questionnaires were used to collect data from librarians from six university libraries. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were used to collect data from directors. Regarding statistical analysis, descriptive statistics were performed to derive frequencies and percentages from quantitative data collected. The qualitative data were analyzed thematically and presented in narrative form. The findings suggest that librarians’ teaching skills and their knowledge of the research cycle are inadequate, while their communication and interpersonal skills are sufficient to allow them to effectively embed their services in their users’ (researchers, students, and teaching staff) activities. To effectively adopt embedded librarianship, the authors recommend the allocation of adequate funds to support diverse external and in-house training, the development of harmonized library and information science (LIS) curriculum, and the use of social media to interact with users.

“…"According the Ithaka S & R Library Survey 2013 by Long and Schonfeld, 80-90 percent of academic library directors perceive their librarians' primary role as contributing to student learning while only 45-55 percent of faculty agree librarians contribute to student learning." 24 Even though this is a challenge, faculty collaboration with librarians is crucial for the embedded librarian role. Without a requirement of embedded librarianship, marketing for the librarians and what they can do for students will be essential for their role to be successful.…”

The University of North Florida (UNF) transitioned to Canvas as its Learning Management System (LMS) in summer 2017. This implementation brought on opportunities that allowed for a more user-friendly learning environment for students. Working with students in courses which were in-person, hybrid, or online, brought about the need for the library to have a place in the Canvas LMS. Students needed to remember how to access and locate library resources and services outside of Canvas. During this time, the Thomas G. Carpenter Library’s online presence was enhanced, yet still not visible in Canvas. It became apparent that the library needed to be integrated into Canvas courses. This would enable students to easily transition between their coursework and finding resources and services to support their studies. In addition, librarians who worked with students, looked for ways for students to easily find library resources and services online. After much discussion, it became clear to the Online Learning Librarian (OLL) and the Director of Technical Services and Library Systems (Library Director) that the library needed to explore ways to integrate more with Canvas.

“…The most common job duties cited by the survey participants were: providing links to online library content (36%), communicating with students through email (39%) and discussion boards (33%), and writing and administering quizzes (22%). Although Tumbleson (2016) also described the embedded librarian's primary job duties as promoting the library collection and communicating with students, she emphasized the librarian's role in providing research support through individual consultations, clarification of the research process, and guiding students to select authoritative and scholarly resources. Pati and Majhi (2019) similarly affirmed the research instruction role of embedded librarians, but also identified the liaison librarian work which some embedded librarians performed.…”
