There is an entrepreneurial sense to our work here, especially when given the charge to go out and find and/or make one’s place in a research team. You need to sell yourself to the team, as much (if not more) than the library. It makes it hard to tease out those things that you provide to the research team or group that are generic to all librarians, and which ones are tied specifically to the embedded librarian’s own personal skill set. As we move more and more into the role of informationist and/or embedded librarian, it will be interesting to see what list of services we can tie to the role, independent of the individual librarian.

I’m still new to this, but it’s a topic I find intriguing to take note of and think about.
