The New College Try: Enrolling in First-Year Science Courses as Embedded Librarianship.
In: Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) Summit 2022, Online.
Abstract
Librarians seek to better understand our communities, and this is no less true for university data librarians. The embedded librarianship model has furthermore aimed to meet users where they are and bring service provision outside the walls of the library. Serving STEM users, yet lacking my own formal STEM background, led me to enroll in undergraduate Biology courses. Unexpectedly, this experience has so far yielded not only more domain knowledge, but also better sociocultural and pedagogical understanding of a portion of my service community, ideas for potential services, and opportunities to provide value as a data librarian. I utilize autoethnography as the approach for exploring and sharing these experiences. Enrolling in undergraduate coursework is presented as a viable approach for practicing embedded librarianship.
