We all love our work and our library, so we are eager to implement good innovations. In foreign university libraries for many years there is such a thing - "embedded librarian". It was built as an integral and inseparable part of the whole. Built for different groups: students of any discipline, teachers, any community in the university. He may attend lectures, seminars, meetings, research groups. But not just like that, not only as a listener. Embedded librarian is so knowledgeable in today and future needs of the group, that he did not expect the questions in his address, but he is ready to go and be the first to offer the right solution, a resource service. Let us learn to be the best in the profession embedded librarians for our university.
We wish our library to remain an integral and inseparable part of scientific, educational, cultural and social life of our KPI.
