“…At the same time, curriculum integrated models of information literacy have been argued to reach a greater number of students more efficiently than the section-by-section collaborative approach to teaching that we generally see in the embedded librarian model (Eland, 2008;D'Angelo & Maid, 2004). Capella University Library's liaison model allows for high impact in this regard.…”

In 2007, Capella University librarians began an embedded librarian pilot in the School of Psychology postgraduate 1st courses. Embedded librarian programs give librarians the opportunity to meet distance students in their natural habitats by participating in classroom instruction. This is a relatively new area in library research. An analysis of Capella's 2007 library reference traffic revealed a 400% jump in reference transactions with psychology students, coinciding with the introduction of the embedded librarian program. This study establishes a statistically significant relationship between the number of embedded librarian interactions in the classroom and the increased number of general reference transactions. While this study may provide an encouraging case for libraries considering an embedded program who want to advertise their help services, it might also provide a discouraging case study for libraries who hope to drive down general reference questions through embedded librarian initiatives. Potential for future research is discussed.

“…Writing instructors' and librarians' collaboration efforts towards improving student learning of the research and writing process date back to 2003 (Norgaard & Sinkinson, 2017). One example of this collaborative effort comes through partnerships to integrate information literacy (IL) into courses (Black, Crest, & Volland, 2001;D'Angelo & Maid, 2004;Davidson & Crateau, 1998;Holliday & Fagerheim, 2006;O'Connor, Bowles-Terry, & Holliday, 2010;Shonrock, 2006). Another example of collaboration comes from designing library instruction to emphasise that the research process and writing process are connected (Artman, Frisicaro-Pawlowski, & Monge, 2010;Elmborg & Hook, 2005;Gruber, Knefel, & Waelchli, 2008;Jacobs & Jacobs, 2009;Mazziotti & Grettano, 2011;Veach, 2012).…”

This design-based research study of library instruction was developed using the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework. Three different instructional approaches were developed and evaluated as part of this study: the one-shot session approach, the partially embedded librarian approach and the fully embedded librarian approach. Surveys, interviews and journaling were used to gather data from faculty, undergraduate students and the researcher–librarian about their experiences. This research study is unique given the combined use of design-based research methodology and the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework to collaboratively design and evaluate library instruction.

“…However, being broad in scope, literacies are also tied to technology [60]. Literacies also build a foundation for higherlevel skills and abilities of recognizing, analysing and understanding the context and relationship between language, information and knowledge [61]. In other words, they help to "transform information into knowledge and knowledge into judgment and action" [62].…”

This chapter investigates the complex phenomenon of information overload that, despite controversies about its existence, is a major problem, the symptoms of which have to be alleviated. Its sources and nature in academia, business environments and in everyday life information seeking, its particular features in the data-intensive world are described, not forgetting about the role of information technology. The possible ways of mitigating information overload are specified, underlining the imperative of being critical against information. Potential approaches and tools, described in this chapter include utilising appropriate information architecture, applying information literacy, data literacy and other literacies, as well as making use of personal information management.
