This document discusses the benefits of embedded librarianship. It contains references to research that shows how embedding librarians within academic departments can positively impact student learning and research skills. Specifically, the research finds that undergraduate students who engage with embedded librarians report improved approaches to research and a better understanding of the research process. The document also references studies demonstrating how librarians would benefit from receiving more instruction on conducting their own research to better support student and faculty researchers.
