Objective: The study measured the perceived value of an academic library's embedded librarian service model.
Setting:The study took place at the health sciences campuses of a research institution.Methods: A web-based survey was distributed that asked respondents a series of questions about their utilization of and satisfaction with embedded librarians and services.Results: Over 58% of respondents reported being aware of their embedded librarians, and 95% of these were satisfied with provided services.Conclusions: The overall satisfaction with services was encouraging, but awareness of the embedded program was low, suggesting an overall need for marketing of services.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
