The growth of online sources of information, along with increasing distance education has led to a gradual shift in academic librarianship--from providing reference services to instructing students in information literacy. The 12 contributions presented here embody some of the best thinking and programs for embedding librarianship in the university's research and coursework. The volume is arranged in four parts: The Evolution of Embedded Librarianship, Developing Programs in the Online Embedded Environment, Online Embedded Librarians--Outside the Classroom, and Embedded in the Bigger Picture--Scaling Online Embedded Librarianship. Along the way it considers efforts in an online graduate program, military distance education, and at the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand. Processes covered include embedding librarians in e-learning to "teach the teacher," use of a Web 2.0 toolkit, use of course-specific and subject-specific LibGuides from Blackboard, and ways to get involved in massively open online courses (MOOCs).
