This was a panel session with librarians from Northern Virginia Community College, Limestone College, Southern New Hampshire University, and Indiana State University. The panel discussed differing levels of embedding along with the difficulty of being both an online and on-campus librarian. One idea that I've been considering advertising is in place (I can't recall which librarian discussed this!) and that is the use of live instruction via a webinar setting and then doing follow-up in a discussion forum. This was mentioned several times in this session and in others I attended: the course faculty drive the level of involvement and it's important to meet with them individually and learn each others' expectation. A general Research/Writing module has been put into one college's CMS and all students can access it. This doesn't include a discussion forum, but a librarian photo and contact information is provided so students have someone identified to reach out to.
