Faculty & Staff Resources

This guide provides information about library services for faculty and staff at CSM.

Embedded Librarianship

Embedded Librarianship is a model where "embedded librarians work closely over extended periods of time with non-librarian groups, whether by joining a semester-long course, maintaining and ongoing presence in online courses, [or] participating in broad curriculum planning efforts" (Kvenild & Calkins, 2011, p. vii).

At CSM, embedded librarians can be added to your course in MyLearning and integrated into the course at whatever level you require. Examples of how an embedded librarian can support your course:

  • Discussion Board (monitored by the librarian) where students can post research-related questions.
  • Library Resources module including suggested resources from the librarian such as links to databases, library guides, and citation help.
  • Class visits (in person or via Zoom) for library instruction on a variety of topics related to information literacy and research skills.
  • Video, activity, handout, or other deliverable from the librarian specific to the course or a particular assignment (such as database demonstrations, tips for identifying scholarly articles, or how to cite sources in APA format)

To request an embedded librarian for your course(s), contact us at library@csmd.edu - be sure to include the course number, section, and what type of support you are looking for.
