Infolink Librarians

"A collection of resources on how librarians are embedding themselves in learning spaces"

If librarians truly wish to be where the user is and to be user-centric, they need to be present in those spaces that users are. Embedded librarianship is a major focus for the future for the profession. The physical library will continue to provide  a place for research, for study, and for group work. But, with the dramatic increase in electronic resources and technological capabilities, bringing the library and the librarian to the user, wherever they are-office, laboratory, home, or even on their mobile device-is at the forefront of what it means to be embedded. 

"It's time for school librarians to step out and enlighten their communities about all the ways their libraries impact students' education. "

What if you weren't constrained by the old rules about textbooks? What if you could mix and match content for course packs from an ever-expanding content library along with your own materials and articles from the web? What if you could then distribute these new course materials in print or eBook, all while saving your students money? Well, now you can."
