The “3 Geeks and a Law” blog has published some results of a recent survey of law firms. It covers the extent of embedded librarianship, duties of embedded librarians, perceived benefits of the embedded model, and more. The survey was conducted by Ark Group.
The results lend strong support to the idea that embedded librarianship is growing rapidly in this sector. It found that over 25% of respondents say they have embedded librarians in their firms. A similar survey I saw a few years ago put the figure at about 10%.
