Embedded Librarian's Cookbook

by Kaijsa Calkins (Editor), Cassandra Kvenild (editor)

Publisher blurb: The Embedded Librarian’s Cookbook offers step-by-step guidelines for implementing tested approaches to embedded librarianship. As with ACRL’s 2009 Library Instruction Cookbook, the “recipes” are sorted into categories related to different uses and depth of need. This second Cookbook provides librarians with a variety of approaches to embedding instruction in courses and to assessing these activities. 55 recipes aimed at different audiences and for a wide variety of situations are presented. This volume builds on the ACRL 2011 publication Embedded Librarianship: Moving Beyond One-shot Instruction, also edited by Kaijsa Calkins and Cassandra Kvenild.

The Embedded Librarian’s Cookbook is essential for all instruction and liaison librarians and useful for schools of library and information science professional collections.

Not what I was expecting. They took a cute idea and ran it into the ground. I can think of a handful of my MLS program professors who could stand to read this book if they are going to continue teaching online courses. I wanted help more on a personal level but this was more geared towards educators and presenters.

I'll take some good ideas for class activities away from this book.
