Success?
Anecdotal Evidence
More and more professors are beginning to “embed” librarians because they love the fact that there is someone “present” to help students with their research. Papers are getting better!
Students and faculty love the research tools, especially the LibX and LINCCWeb library toolbars and WorldCat citations. These tools allow users to spend more quality time digesting the content rather than jumping through all the access hoops!
Each class submits a Technology and Research Use Survey and submits a follow-up research survey once the class is over.
