Choose Your Partners Wisely: Strategic Choices for Embedded Librarians

Abstract

SLA Embedded Librarians Caucus Conference panel session from the Special Libraries Association 2018 Annual Conference. One of the keys to establishing an embedded librarianship role is choosing your partner wisely. Whether introducing the embedded model in their organization for the first time or expanding their relationships, librarians have to ask themselves, "Who can I turn to to help start up and establish my embedded librarianship role?" and "is this the right partner to build a successful relationship with?" In this session, successful corporate and academic embedded librarians shared strategies on using political and marketing insights to figure out both where in the organization to concentrate your efforts and which people in your organization you should partner with, so that you can maximize your value and achieve long-lasting success. Moderator: David Shumaker.
