One-shot library sessions have numerous drawbacks; most notably, they rarely have a long-term impact on students' research behavior or skill sets. Library literature notes that when students interact with an embedded librarian, their skills improve. While close partnerships with subject faculty are important, librarians must also assess students' skill sets to determine the impact of these teaching efforts.
During the course, the embedded librarian used various activities and assignments to teach information-seeking skills, with the expected outcome of increased skill sets. This IRB-approved research project focused on measuring and assessing students' information-seeking abilities before and after interacting with the embedded nursing librarian. Changes in students' information fluency skills were measured using pre- and post-tests.
The study results provide evidence of the benefits of the embedded librarianship model. Continued measurement of students' skills acquisition is important to enable librarians and library administrators to show the positive impacts the library has on student learning and success.
单轮库访问存在诸多弊端；最显著的是，它们很少对学生的研究行为或技能产生长期影响。图书馆文献指出，当学生与嵌入式馆员互动时，他们的技能会得到提升。尽管与学科教师建立密切的伙伴关系很重要，但图书馆员还必须评估学生的技能组合，以确定这些教学努力的影响。
在课程中，嵌入式馆员使用各种活动和作业来教授信息搜索技能，期望提高学生的技能组合。这项经过 IRB 批准的研究项目专注于衡量和评估学生在与嵌入式护理馆员互动前后的信息搜索能力。使用前测和后测来衡量学生信息流畅度技能的变化。
研究结果为嵌入式图书馆模式的优势提供了证据。持续衡量学生的技能获取情况对于图书馆员和图书馆管理人员来说很重要，这使他们能够展示图书馆对学生学习和成功的积极影响。
