The class of 2016 has an additional library resource – the House Librarian. ZSR has partnered with Residence Life & Housing and the Graduate Hall Directors (GHD) to serve each of the first-year student residence halls. Librarians regularly email these students, via the GHD, with reminders of library services and links to resources ranging from databases to personal research sessions. Librarians also offer in-house programs on conducting effective scholarly research and will hold research assistance hours in the residence halls before midterms and finals.

The House Librarian program is just one example of the larger trend of embedded librarianship, which borrows its name from embedded journalism. At ZSR, librarians have been embedded in the classroom, in service learning trips and in summer outreach programs. If you know of a course or a project that could benefit from an embedded librarian, contact your library liaison.
