Embedded librarians in Academic Libraries

As a young adult trying to start her education again I am in love with this idea. I know that Rose State in MWC has had to downsize their library while construction on a new learning center is being built. So being able to tell students that they have other places to go and get research materials and other information is super helpful. I do know that the college libraries have a reciprocal card called the OK Share card, but having the help at a community library is super helpful. Especially when the bigger universities libraries are large and somewhat daunting.

Having worked in a very small college library (approximately 1,200 students or so), this could be especially valuable at community colleges or other smaller private universities that don't have extensive collections like many larger public/private schools. We often had to tell students that the material wasn't there (and they didn't want to/couldn't wait for ILL), so it would be great to have access to a much larger collection.
