Join panelists to explore examples of best practices in embedded librarianship. Panelists will provide valuable tips and tricks for implementing or refreshing existing embedded librarian projects.  Panelists reviewed the literature and aligned published best practices in online instruction with examples from personal experience to create a short list of best practices in distance learning librarianship.

Panelists reveal practical tips and techniques for working within online courses, including: telecommuting; embedding in each section of an introductory online class; developing sequential instruction and services for online doctoral students; establishing methods to track, document, and assess services; and gaining the director's support for embedded librarians. Panelists will focus discussion on librarians embedded in online courses, whether providing synchronous or asynchronous services.

Many librarians are already embedded in courses or have plans to embed soon. Join panelists to learn more that will equip you to overcome current problems, anticipate potential roadblocks, envision a new project, find a new direction for a current project, and make connections with librarians for support. A LibGuide [http://saintleo.libguides.com/embedded-librarians-panel] provides access to conference materials, including an annotated bibliography of best practices in embedded librarianship.
