Agenda
• You will understand the history of personal
librarian programs and embedded librarianship
and discover how you can create or adapt such a
program to fit your own institution.
• Learn about innovations which can help you
reach students and faculty on a more individual
basis.
• Gain several strategies for establishing
relationships, reducing student anxiety, and
assist students throughout their academic career.
Outcomes – What we hope you take
away from this workshop
“a 10-year longitudinal study of students at a small college,
funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation...found that
personal relationships with both peers and faculty
members, starting from direct contact, were fundamentally
important to undergraduate success and could readily be
facilitated by institutions….Even an apparently minor
personal encounter can go a long way in helping a student.”
– Daniel Chambliss, Chronicle of Higher Education
Retention
• 1984 – Newton Gresham Library
• Focus on graduate student support
• “One to One”
Sam Houston State University
• Implemented in 1996
• Response to reaching students in the digital age
• Divided students to each librarian
• Multiple points of contact
• Later expanded at Yale University as a whole
targeting freshmen starting in 2008
• http://web.library.yale.edu/pl
Yale University School of Medicine
• Implemented in 2000 at Boatwright Library
• Lucretia McCulley, Director of Outreach
Services, wanted to apply her experience
with her personal banker to libraries.
• 11 liaisons divided about 80 first year
students each in the first iteration
• Sent out letters with business cards
University of Richmond
• Danuta Nitecki brought the program with
her from Yale.
• Program began in 2010 with more than 20
librarians assigned approximately 100
students each.
• Multiple emails about resources and events.
• Students sometimes transition to subject
specialist liaison at a later date.
Drexel University
• Began in 2012 largely due to retention efforts.
• Started with 785 first year students enrolled in
ENG1020 (English Composition).
• 4 librarians divided the instruction and PL
assignment.
• Multiple points of contact.
• Contacted students the following year.
• Solicited feedback.

ACRL Framework – Threshold
Concepts/Frames/Dispositions
• ACRL Framework- revisions, threshold concepts –
Meyer and Land
• “Learners who are developing their information
literate abilities do the following: “
• Frame- Research As Inquiry – Disposition -“Seek
appropriate help when needed”
• Frame- Searching as Strategic Exploration–
Disposition - “Seek guidance from experts, such
as librarians, researchers, and professionals.”
Personal Librarian and Library
Instruction
• Not many schools “tie –in” Personal
Librarian programs with instruction
• Taking the opportunity in library instruction
to promote the Personal Librarian Program
–”I am your Personal Librarian for this
class.”
• Promote “Personal Librarian “ to students
and “Embedded Librarian” to faculty
Personal Librarian- Library Instruction
Design at Johnson & Wales
• Connected to ENG 1020 English
Composition Classes – PL for the class
• Linked to course in LMS (Blackboard)
• The PL Program is reinforced in the
library instruction class
Making the Links to improve
Connections
• Moving the focus from presenting physical
library resources (books, databases) to the
value of the librarian as a resource
• Helping students understand the role of the
librarian (mentor, coach, conduit to
resources, information and research
specialist –not just for scholarly work )
One on One Appointments
• Some Goals of Personal Librarian are:
• Alleviating library anxiety
• Awareness of how librarian can help
• Knowing librarian and students by name
• These goals can lead to more one on one
appointments- working closely with faculty
can spur these meetings
One on One Appointments
Assessment
• How do you assess a Personal Librarian
program?
• Focused survey, retaining names and
keeping statistics, affect on grades and
retention, documenting student feedback
• The intangibles
The different ways to implement

Online Learning
“Students are 45 times more
likely to start information
searches on Web search
engines than on the library
Web site” and are more
likely to learn about sources
from a friend than from a
library website.
Implications for Libraries
• A primary voice in embedded
librarianship
• Faculty member at Catholic
University of America, where
he has made Embedded
Librarianship a primary
research focus
• Blogger -
http://embeddedlibrarian.com/
• “All sectors of the library
profession need to “travel,
together, in the same
direction”
David Shumaker
What IS Embedded Librarianship?
• “an integral part of the whole” (Jezzmyne Dene)
• “Sharing in the life of the department or
program, understanding the dynamics of
relationships between departments
or departments and higher administration.”
(Lynn Marie Rudasill)
• “embedded librarian provides better access
for students to him/herself and to the
library’s resources.” (Shumaker)
• Deeply integrated librarian with intense
collaboration with faculty (Barbara Dewey)
• Embedded Journalists:
– Aid in dominating the “information
environment” in warfare
– Are ‘in the trenches’ with those doing
the fighting, with goal of creating a
healthy and reliable ‘information
environment’
• Did Librarians get the idea of
embedding from journalists? David
Shumaker says “Maybe, maybe not.”
Idea is spreading
– CIO of Hatchett Book Group plans to
embed IT analysts throughout the firm.
Like Embedded Journalists?
• Requires teamwork, knowledge of content,
accessibility, adaptability, responsiveness
• Maintain ‘user-centric’ approach to library
services
• Reach users where they are
• Bridge the gap “between libraries and
distance learners, teaching faculty, and lab
researchers
The Basics
• Builds on belief that more targeted and
contextual instruction makes for better
results.
• Best classes to embed in are ones early in a
student’s degree program.
– This is the time when students struggle the most with
both big picture and basic information gathering skills.
– Instruction at this point allows new skills to become
more practiced over the course of the student’s
education
More Basics
Many iterations of EL expand the role of
Subject Specialists, using a model wherein
librarians embed in classes out of
departments they are already connected with.
Role of Subject Specialists
This changes “the way subject
librarianship is being provided
to users.”
• Most frequent model
• Largely digital, includes subject guide and being
embedded within online course management
system
• Work intensive on front end, but requires little
effort to maintain
• Benefits:
– Lessens time needed for reference interview
– Librarian can get ahead of trouble spots
– Allows Librarian to impact many students
• Potential negatives:
– Too impersonal, might inhibit students from
adequately developing their own research skills
Macro- Approach
• Allows more collaboration between student,
librarian, and faculty
• Can take on any form, tailored to the needs
of the users (student, faculty, perhaps
outside relationships)
• Additional Benefit:
– Allows for an even more tailored set of services
• Potential negatives:
– More time intensive to maintain
Micro- Approach
While instruction is central, it can be delivered
in a variety of methods: traditional 1-shot
sessions, reference interactions, websites,
tutorials and other tech approaches, and
embedding in course management systems
online
Variations
Some examples
• Keeps the library resources and services focus on
student achievement
• Students benefit from interaction with librarians
– Librarians are often not seen as research mentors
– Might be related to different approaches to
research: thorough (librarians) vs. efficient (student)
• Can affect Reference Desk interactions
– Can increase use of reference services and
resources
– Increased complexity to reference interactions
Effects
• Groundwork:
– Establish a need
– Gather support
• Preparation:
– Get assignments
– Decide level of engagement (weekly? Monthly? As needed?)
– Start a thread in online discussion board for Library topics
– Get familiar with technology you expect to use
• Execution:
– Practice clear and effective communication
– Be flexible to needs of others
– Be proactive
– Weave your presence through the course to maximize effect
Best Practices
Library fear is real. Seeking help online might be
easier for the user, but might not. Remain
sensitive to the fears and needs of your users,
and the limitations of digital communication.
Library Fear
Take the time to make your
online presence
approachable
• Similarities
– Both efforts to address changing issues in
librarianship and higher education
– Efforts to increase retention, increase value of
student experience, deepen student learning
– Many tools used in EL are also used in PL
• Differences
– Depth and breadth
– 1 class (“I’m here with you and can help you
now”) vs. entire degree experience (building
relationships that can stand outside classroom)
Embedded vs. Personal Librarian
• Central to both Personal Librarianship
and Embedded Librarianship is a solid
relationship – and buy-in – with Faculty.
How do you reach out to them?
• Create a plan - what do you need for and
from your audience
• Know your resources
• Keep things fresh
• Respect them and how they currently do
it
• Don't oversell
• Understand audience

Winter term
“The librarian that I worked with was added
to my Ulearn section, so that they were able
to communicate with students via course
announcements. In addition, this individual
also visited my classroom where they were
introduced to students in person.”
What could the Personal Librarian Program do
to better help your students?
Spring term
“I don’t think they could do much more.
They were available, they gave me a link to
post a live chat space on my class Ulearn
page, they conducted the library module
class, and they emailed my students directly
to introduce the program.”
What could the Personal Librarian Program do
to better help your students?
What could you do to better incorporate the Personal
Librarian Program into your English course?
Winter term
“Advertising/showing the value-added
aspect of the personal librarian and the IL
(information literacy) sessions is the best
thing I can think of to do.”
What could you do to better incorporate the Personal
Librarian Program into your English course?
Spring term
“I think that I could do more next term by
encouraging my students to seek out their help
more than they did this term. I think the
students don’t see a need for the personal
librarian until the final week of classes when
essays are due. What I plan to do next term is
incorporate the librarians in more of a direct
way: actually have the students go to them for
help and feedback for at least one assignment
(probably finding and citing sources).”

The Future of Personal Librarian
First National Personal Librarian &
First Year Experience Library
Conference – April, 2014
The Future of Personal Librarian
• Makerspaces enhance librarian interactions
• Making efforts to understand and connect to our
communities makes us better librarians
• Chat services, embedded opportunities, and
increased emphasis on one on one appointments
should continue
• As technology continues to advance, what makes
us most human may be most important
Creating a good environment
Do’s Don’ts
 Be open about who you are. Tell something personal
about yourself that your students might be able to grab
onto in some fashion. If you are online, create a page
about yourself that you have on the Library site, or in
Blackboard.
 Don’t judge (even by a twitch of the eye) the student in
front of you, whether their question (that you’ve
answered 73 times today already) or appearance.
Especially someone used to judgment will pick up on it
and may not come back.
 Give multiple ways of contact. What works best for you
might not work best for them?
 Don’t take yourself too seriously. Chances are students
don’t, and they won’t take in what you’re saying if they
perceive you as out of their reach.
 Consider a creative use of signs. And you can go for a
laugh response. Here at this library, Joe wallpapered our
Reference Desk at the beginning of the year with 1 kind of
sign, which we left up for a few weeks. It got laughs and
good comments.
 Don’t leave a student (patron) hanging. If you can’t find
the answer, get them to someone who can. Follow-up
with them.
 Use graphics and pictures. Online and in person, pictures
do much to break down barriers
 Don’t use only text if you can help it.
 Make it clear in your online presence that you are aware
of what’s going on around campus. Announce contest
winners, campus events, etc.
 Don’t miss chances to inform students about
opportunities available to them
 Interact with as many students as you can, as a person
and as a Librarian.
 Don’t tie yourself down to always staying in the library.
 Highlight student work or bring attention to it (pictures,
projects on display).
 Create ‘gaps” between students and librarians

Connecting with Students and Faculty through Personal and Embedded Librarianship

  • 1. Connecting with Students and Faculty through Personal and Embedded Librarianship
  • 2. Presenters Joe Eshleman, MLIS Instruction Librarian Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte Campus Valerie Freeman, MLIS Reference Librarian Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte Campus Richard Moniz, MA, MLIS, EdD Director of Library Services Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte Campus David Jewell, D.H.Sc. Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Johnson & Wales University, Charlotte Campus
  • 3. Week 1- April 16 • Retention Efforts • History of Personal Librarian Programs • Information Literacy and the Personal Librarian • Embedded Librarian – History and Differences Week 2- April 23 • Personalization in Other Venues • Personalization in Other Departments • The Faculty Perspective • Best Practices • Future Trends Agenda
  • 4. • You will understand the history of personal librarian programs and embedded librarianship and discover how you can create or adapt such a program to fit your own institution. • Learn about innovations which can help you reach students and faculty on a more individual basis. • Gain several strategies for establishing relationships, reducing student anxiety, and assist students throughout their academic career. Outcomes – What we hope you take away from this workshop
  • 5. “a 10-year longitudinal study of students at a small college, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation...found that personal relationships with both peers and faculty members, starting from direct contact, were fundamentally important to undergraduate success and could readily be facilitated by institutions….Even an apparently minor personal encounter can go a long way in helping a student.” – Daniel Chambliss, Chronicle of Higher Education Retention
  • 6. • 1984 – Newton Gresham Library • Focus on graduate student support • “One to One” Sam Houston State University
  • 7. • Implemented in 1996 • Response to reaching students in the digital age • Divided students to each librarian • Multiple points of contact • Later expanded at Yale University as a whole targeting freshmen starting in 2008 • http://web.library.yale.edu/pl Yale University School of Medicine
  • 8. • Implemented in 2000 at Boatwright Library • Lucretia McCulley, Director of Outreach Services, wanted to apply her experience with her personal banker to libraries. • 11 liaisons divided about 80 first year students each in the first iteration • Sent out letters with business cards University of Richmond
  • 9. • Danuta Nitecki brought the program with her from Yale. • Program began in 2010 with more than 20 librarians assigned approximately 100 students each. • Multiple emails about resources and events. • Students sometimes transition to subject specialist liaison at a later date. Drexel University
  • 10. • Began in 2012 largely due to retention efforts. • Started with 785 first year students enrolled in ENG1020 (English Composition). • 4 librarians divided the instruction and PL assignment. • Multiple points of contact. • Contacted students the following year. • Solicited feedback. Johnson & Wales University Charlotte Campus
  • 11. ACRL Framework – Threshold Concepts/Frames/Dispositions • ACRL Framework- revisions, threshold concepts – Meyer and Land • “Learners who are developing their information literate abilities do the following: “ • Frame- Research As Inquiry – Disposition -“Seek appropriate help when needed” • Frame- Searching as Strategic Exploration– Disposition - “Seek guidance from experts, such as librarians, researchers, and professionals.”
  • 12. Personal Librarian and Library Instruction • Not many schools “tie –in” Personal Librarian programs with instruction • Taking the opportunity in library instruction to promote the Personal Librarian Program –”I am your Personal Librarian for this class.” • Promote “Personal Librarian “ to students and “Embedded Librarian” to faculty
  • 13. Personal Librarian- Library Instruction Design at Johnson & Wales • Connected to ENG 1020 English Composition Classes – PL for the class • Linked to course in LMS (Blackboard) • The PL Program is reinforced in the library instruction class
  • 14. Making the Links to improve Connections • Moving the focus from presenting physical library resources (books, databases) to the value of the librarian as a resource • Helping students understand the role of the librarian (mentor, coach, conduit to resources, information and research specialist –not just for scholarly work )
  • 15. One on One Appointments • Some Goals of Personal Librarian are: • Alleviating library anxiety • Awareness of how librarian can help • Knowing librarian and students by name • These goals can lead to more one on one appointments- working closely with faculty can spur these meetings
  • 16. One on One Appointments
  • 17. Assessment • How do you assess a Personal Librarian program? • Focused survey, retaining names and keeping statistics, affect on grades and retention, documenting student feedback • The intangibles
  • 18. The different ways to implement
  • 20. 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% Fall 2002 Fall 2006 Fall 2009 Fall 2012 % Students enrolled in at least 1 online class % Students enrolled in at least 1 online class Online Learning
  • 21. “Students are 45 times more likely to start information searches on Web search engines than on the library Web site” and are more likely to learn about sources from a friend than from a library website. Implications for Libraries
  • 22. • A primary voice in embedded librarianship • Faculty member at Catholic University of America, where he has made Embedded Librarianship a primary research focus • Blogger - http://embeddedlibrarian.com/ • “All sectors of the library profession need to “travel, together, in the same direction” David Shumaker
  • 23. What IS Embedded Librarianship? • “an integral part of the whole” (Jezzmyne Dene) • “Sharing in the life of the department or program, understanding the dynamics of relationships between departments or departments and higher administration.” (Lynn Marie Rudasill) • “embedded librarian provides better access for students to him/herself and to the library’s resources.” (Shumaker) • Deeply integrated librarian with intense collaboration with faculty (Barbara Dewey)
  • 24. • Embedded Journalists: – Aid in dominating the “information environment” in warfare – Are ‘in the trenches’ with those doing the fighting, with goal of creating a healthy and reliable ‘information environment’ • Did Librarians get the idea of embedding from journalists? David Shumaker says “Maybe, maybe not.” Idea is spreading – CIO of Hatchett Book Group plans to embed IT analysts throughout the firm. Like Embedded Journalists?
  • 25. • Requires teamwork, knowledge of content, accessibility, adaptability, responsiveness • Maintain ‘user-centric’ approach to library services • Reach users where they are • Bridge the gap “between libraries and distance learners, teaching faculty, and lab researchers The Basics
  • 26. • Builds on belief that more targeted and contextual instruction makes for better results. • Best classes to embed in are ones early in a student’s degree program. – This is the time when students struggle the most with both big picture and basic information gathering skills. – Instruction at this point allows new skills to become more practiced over the course of the student’s education More Basics
  • 27. Many iterations of EL expand the role of Subject Specialists, using a model wherein librarians embed in classes out of departments they are already connected with. Role of Subject Specialists This changes “the way subject librarianship is being provided to users.”
  • 28. • Most frequent model • Largely digital, includes subject guide and being embedded within online course management system • Work intensive on front end, but requires little effort to maintain • Benefits: – Lessens time needed for reference interview – Librarian can get ahead of trouble spots – Allows Librarian to impact many students • Potential negatives: – Too impersonal, might inhibit students from adequately developing their own research skills Macro- Approach
  • 29. • Allows more collaboration between student, librarian, and faculty • Can take on any form, tailored to the needs of the users (student, faculty, perhaps outside relationships) • Additional Benefit: – Allows for an even more tailored set of services • Potential negatives: – More time intensive to maintain Micro- Approach
  • 30. While instruction is central, it can be delivered in a variety of methods: traditional 1-shot sessions, reference interactions, websites, tutorials and other tech approaches, and embedding in course management systems online Variations
  • 32. • Keeps the library resources and services focus on student achievement • Students benefit from interaction with librarians – Librarians are often not seen as research mentors – Might be related to different approaches to research: thorough (librarians) vs. efficient (student) • Can affect Reference Desk interactions – Can increase use of reference services and resources – Increased complexity to reference interactions Effects
  • 33. • Groundwork: – Establish a need – Gather support • Preparation: – Get assignments – Decide level of engagement (weekly? Monthly? As needed?) – Start a thread in online discussion board for Library topics – Get familiar with technology you expect to use • Execution: – Practice clear and effective communication – Be flexible to needs of others – Be proactive – Weave your presence through the course to maximize effect Best Practices
  • 34. Library fear is real. Seeking help online might be easier for the user, but might not. Remain sensitive to the fears and needs of your users, and the limitations of digital communication. Library Fear Take the time to make your online presence approachable
  • 35. • Similarities – Both efforts to address changing issues in librarianship and higher education – Efforts to increase retention, increase value of student experience, deepen student learning – Many tools used in EL are also used in PL • Differences – Depth and breadth – 1 class (“I’m here with you and can help you now”) vs. entire degree experience (building relationships that can stand outside classroom) Embedded vs. Personal Librarian
  • 36. • Central to both Personal Librarianship and Embedded Librarianship is a solid relationship – and buy-in – with Faculty. How do you reach out to them? • Create a plan - what do you need for and from your audience • Know your resources • Keep things fresh • Respect them and how they currently do it • Don't oversell • Understand audience Collaborating with Faculty

  • 48. Winter term “The librarian that I worked with was added to my Ulearn section, so that they were able to communicate with students via course announcements. In addition, this individual also visited my classroom where they were introduced to students in person.” What could the Personal Librarian Program do to better help your students?
  • 49. Spring term “I don’t think they could do much more. They were available, they gave me a link to post a live chat space on my class Ulearn page, they conducted the library module class, and they emailed my students directly to introduce the program.” What could the Personal Librarian Program do to better help your students?
  • 50. What could you do to better incorporate the Personal Librarian Program into your English course? Winter term “Advertising/showing the value-added aspect of the personal librarian and the IL (information literacy) sessions is the best thing I can think of to do.”
  • 51. What could you do to better incorporate the Personal Librarian Program into your English course? Spring term “I think that I could do more next term by encouraging my students to seek out their help more than they did this term. I think the students don’t see a need for the personal librarian until the final week of classes when essays are due. What I plan to do next term is incorporate the librarians in more of a direct way: actually have the students go to them for help and feedback for at least one assignment (probably finding and citing sources).”

  • 65. Creating a good environment Do’s Don’ts  Be open about who you are. Tell something personal about yourself that your students might be able to grab onto in some fashion. If you are online, create a page about yourself that you have on the Library site, or in Blackboard.  Don’t judge (even by a twitch of the eye) the student in front of you, whether their question (that you’ve answered 73 times today already) or appearance. Especially someone used to judgment will pick up on it and may not come back.  Give multiple ways of contact. What works best for you might not work best for them?  Don’t take yourself too seriously. Chances are students don’t, and they won’t take in what you’re saying if they perceive you as out of their reach.  Consider a creative use of signs. And you can go for a laugh response. Here at this library, Joe wallpapered our Reference Desk at the beginning of the year with 1 kind of sign, which we left up for a few weeks. It got laughs and good comments.  Don’t leave a student (patron) hanging. If you can’t find the answer, get them to someone who can. Follow-up with them.  Use graphics and pictures. Online and in person, pictures do much to break down barriers  Don’t use only text if you can help it.  Make it clear in your online presence that you are aware of what’s going on around campus. Announce contest winners, campus events, etc.  Don’t miss chances to inform students about opportunities available to them  Interact with as many students as you can, as a person and as a Librarian.  Don’t tie yourself down to always staying in the library.  Highlight student work or bring attention to it (pictures, projects on display).  Create ‘gaps” between students and librarians
