Transforming Librarianship: Embedding Scholarly Communication in Nanomanufacturing Research

In the realm of nanomanufacturing, librarians are taking on new roles by embedding themselves within research teams. This approach promotes direct and purposeful interaction, allowing librarians to become integral members of teams composed of scientists and engineers. By serving as information experts, they enhance the communication of scientific knowledge and streamline processes like grant applications. This dynamic collaboration fosters a richer understanding of scholarly communication while providing librarians with unique opportunities not typically found in traditional roles.

  1. Embedded in a nanomanufacturing research center Librarians & Scholarly Communication: New Roles and Services Jessica Adamick InterNano Project Manager National Nanomanufacturing Network Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing University of Massachusetts Amherst

  2. embedded librarianship Embedding requires more direct and purposeful interaction than acting in parallel with another person, group, or activity. Overt purposefulness makes embedding an appropriate definition of the most comprehensive collaborations for librarians in the higher education community.
