Tell Your Story Well: How Embedded Librarians Demonstrate and Communicate Their Value

Abstract

SLA Embedded Librarians Caucus Conference panel session from the Special Libraries Association 2018 Annual Conference, selected for the SLA "Best Of" Webinar series of the seven most highly-rated sessions from this SLA 2018 conference. Embedded librarians have unique opportunities and challenges in demonstrating and communicating their value. Metrics and communications have to be tailored to each situation, and can depend on the type of organization, the organization’s mission and strategy, and the personalities involved. In this panel session, experienced managers and librarians shared perspectives, principles, and examples for making sure others in your organization (especially the higher ups) understand the value librarians are adding in their embedded role.
