"Embedded Records Management: A Case Study Emphasizing the Importance of Community as a Key to Success." Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science 40(4): 300-317.1920-7239https://muse.jhu.edu/article/649272http://hdl.handle.net/10393/42587https://doi.org/10.20381/ruor-26807Embedded librarianship has become increasingly common; however, this concept has not been widely applied to other information professions. We first survey the literature on embedded librarianship as a model of service delivery with a view to identifying those criteria that are considered essential to its success. Next, we demonstrate how best practices in embedded librarianship can inspire and inform a similar practice in another sector of the information professions, namely records management. We present and evaluate a pilot project where a records manager was embedded within the quality assurance team in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Ottawa. In particular, we consider how community-building efforts contributed to the success of this project.enembedded librarianshipembedded records managementcommunitybest practicesArticle
