Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The study measured the perceived value of an academic library's embedded librarian service model.

SETTING: The study took place at the health sciences campuses of a research institution.

METHODS: A web-based survey was distributed that asked respondents a series of questions about their utilization of and satisfaction with embedded librarians and services.

RESULTS: Over 58% of respondents reported being aware of their embedded librarians, and 95% of these were satisfied with provided services.

CONCLUSIONS: The overall satisfaction with services was encouraging, but awareness of the embedded program was low, suggesting an overall need for marketing of services.
