Embedded Librarian

• Request a Librarian:http://vl.rodp.org/Web_Class_Librarian.htm

The "Librarian" role enables participation in email, discussion groups, content development, but does not enable access to student grades or quizzes.

Librarian Comment

• My experience has been that the nursing professors are heavy participants in the embedded program.

Librarian comment

I have a very positive view of the nursing RODP program and the students enrolled in the classes. Both the nursing instructors and the nursing students are great to work with and always appreciative of the help I give them. They ask very good questions and I always look forward to working with them.

Librarian Comment

• When I am asked to be embedded in a course, I first follow up with the instructor to find out what they want my role to be. In most instances, I have been with the instructors in the courses before, so they want me to do pretty much the same thing each semester:

Librarian Comment

• One of the first things that students ask me about is how to get to our library’s databases. Often they have trouble with using the RODP username and password. I am delighted that this semester I have been able to bypass the username /password problems because of our purchase of ezproxy. The nursing databases are now found in the content section of D2L under the “writing papers” heading. Now students can go to the databases directly.
