This article describes an exemplary collaboration in which a librarian was fully embedded in beginner undergraduate nursing courses in a baccalaureate nursing program. The goal was to increase academic help-seeking behaviors and information literacy skills. Students benefited from the intervention and increasingly demonstrated the use of better sources for their evidence-based practice assignments. Library tutorials were permanently integrated into the courses. A collaborative approach to designing research assignments allowed the librarian and nursing faculty to lay a foundation of information literacy in the nursing program and encourage academic help-seeking behaviors.
