Tri-C Faculty Onboarding - Library Resources: Embedded Librarian

What is an Embedded Librarian?

To directly support your students' research needs, an embedded librarian is integrated into your online course as a teaching assistant.

How can they help my students?

  • Deliver customized research instruction to your entire class synchronously or asynchronously via WebEx.

  • Use an Ask a Librarian/Research Questions discussion board to Faculty Librarians can answer your students’ research questions.

  • Assist with your students’ research needs via chat, email, telephone, and WebEx.     

How Can I Add an Embedded Librarian to My Course?

  1. Reach out to any Faculty Librarian.
  2. Once a Faculty Librarian's availability has been confirmed, please add them as a teaching assistant for your course using the Manage Support Users tool on the Blackboard Institution page.

That's it! Your embedded librarian will now be able to access the Ask a Librarian/Research Questions discussion board.


NOTE: The librarian will not access grades nor add content without your approval.
