This document discusses lessons learned from embedded librarianship programs and provides advice for starting an embedded librarian program. Some key lessons include having an adequate physical space for the embedded librarian within the department, spending significant time in the departmental office, and not overcommitting embedded librarians with too many responsibilities. Advice includes choosing departments that have instruction needs and supportive faculty, selecting innovative and subject-knowledgeable librarians, and gaining trust and support from supervisors to allow flexibility. The goal of embedded librarianship is to enhance the traditional library liaison program through closer collaboration with academic departments.
