“…In this respect, the "embedded" librarian model differs from "one-shot" approaches to integrating library faculty, which typically involve librarians attending one class meeting to introduce themselves and describe available library resources (Becker et al 2022;Sullivan and Porter 2016).…”

This paper, prepared for the 2023 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference, compares the effectiveness of the embedded librarian model for promoting the development of information literacy skills in in-person versus online courses. Specifically, this paper leverages variation in the delivery modality of an upper-level, writing-intensive Political Science course in which the authors collaborated to implement the embedded librarian model in fall 2019 (in-person modality) and fall 2020 (online modality). In brief, we find that student research papers submitted in the in-person section of the course scored significantly higher on multiple indicators of information literacy than papers submitted for the online version.

“…First, academic librarians have a demonstrated track record of collaborating with faculty research teams in productive ways. These collaborations have included writing systematic reviews (Lee et al, 2022;Spencer and Eldredge, 2018;Foutch, 2016), improving existing course assignments to enhance students' information literacy skills (Becker et al, 2022;Douglas & Rabinowitz, 2016), and securing grant funding (Lehner-Quam, 2022). In addition to these efforts, librarians have the essential skills required to lead, and assist with, data management including data curation, metadata management, and navigating the research data lifecycle (Lee & Stvilia, 2017;Pouchard, 2015).…”

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Research Data Librarians collaborated with an international research team of conservation geneticists to create an instructional and practical guide combining genetic biodiversity initiatives and data curation. Over the course of two months, the academic librarians held multiple community-based Curate-A-Thons where an international group of students, researchers, librarians, and faculty researchers participated in tracking down publications and metadata for genomic sequence data, thus crowd-sourcing this effort of metadata enhancement. This article details the successful Curate-a-Thon design and implementation process; the openly available instructional materials created and used to host the Curate-a-Thons; and the challenges and successes of these community-based events.

Using our work together on an upper-level undergraduate English course as an example, we illustrate that a just combination of librarian and faculty skills and labor, made visible to each other and to students, creates the conditions to enact a transformative student-centered pedagogical approach with special collections as a site of learning and activism. However, we first had to recognize, reflect on, and reject the power dynamics that pervade librarian-faculty collaboration. We will expound on our shared critique of power within the neoliberal corporatized academy that helped us get beyond the conventional librarian-faculty teaching partnership to experiment with critical pedagogies of possibility and enact a feminist praxis; modeling and cultivating interdependent confidence and vulnerability to empower students to be free and creative thinkers.
