This document discusses how embedded librarianship supports STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. It defines STEAM as using tools and the brain to create things. Embedded librarianship involves collaboration between librarians and faculty to support student inquiry and innovation. By embedding in STEAM courses and programs, librarians increase their visibility and opportunities to provide valuable research services for students.
