Summary:

For academic librarians, library educators, students, and researchers, Kvenild and Calkins (U. of Wyoming Libraries) collect 16 essays from librarians at US colleges who detail strategies for embedding librarians and library services across higher education. They trace the development of the practice over the past 15 years; ways it has been used in distance education; how librarians have forged collaborations with students, faculty, and administrators; and the library presence in course management systems, freshman composition classrooms, honors programs, writing centers, dorms, senior capstone courses, and graduate levels.
