<div>Embedded
Librarianship is a descendant of subject librarianship in academic libraries.
Hine (2013) claims that embedded librarianship originated as a solution to the
problems that were encountered in subject librarianship such as poor
bibliographic access to collections and inconsistent physical access. Authors
such as also claim that embedded librarianship was established because academic
librarians needed to collaborate with members of their faculties instead of
merely passively providing collections. While authors such as have claimed that
embedded librarianship has been developed through the growth of ICTs requiring
the need for academic librarians to participate in platforms where their
communities interact.<br></div>
