title: Patron perception and utilization of an embedded librarian program.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The study measured the perceived value of an academic library's embedded librarian service model.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study took place at the health sciences campuses of a research institution.
  
  
  METHODS
  A web-based survey was distributed that asked respondents a series of questions about their utilization of and satisfaction with embedded librarians and services.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Over 58% of respondents reported being aware of their embedded librarians, and 95% of these were satisfied with provided services.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The overall satisfaction with services was encouraging, but awareness of the embedded program was low, suggesting an overall need for marketing of services.
