The purpose of this study was to understand what role undergraduate third- and fourth-year students expect librarians to play in an online learning environment and to determine what information products, training and other services the students expected librarians to embed.,This case study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design. Data were collected from both students and lecturers. An online questionnaire was used to collect mainly quantitative data from the undergraduates while a semi-structured interview schedule was used for in-depth discussions with lecturers.,Contrary to what was expected, engineering students regarded access to an embedded librarian as important. Lecturers prefer that a separate, mandatory module is created and embedded in the learning environment. Product and service expectations were not surprising, but there are gaps to fill when it comes to training needs.,The research sample was small and therefore generalizations are not advisable.,The research holds value to stakeholders involved in the teaching and learning of engineering subjects. Librarians embarking on the process of embedding their services online should also find the results useful.

选择信息产品和服务嵌入虚拟学习环境,以在混合学习环境中支持工程本科生

本研究的目的是了解本科三年级和四年级学生希望图书馆员在在线学习环境中扮演什么角色,并确定学生希望图书馆员嵌入哪些信息产品、培训和其他服务。,本案例研究使用收敛并行混合方法设计。数据是从学生和讲师那里收集的。在线问卷主要用于收集本科生的定量数据,而半结构化面试计划用于与讲师进行深入讨论。与预期相反,工程专业的学生认为获得嵌入式图书馆员的机会很重要。讲师更喜欢在学习环境中创建和嵌入一个单独的强制性模块。产品和服务的期望并不奇怪,但在培训需求方面仍有空白需要填补。,研究样本很小,因此不建议一概而论。,该研究对参与工程学科教学和学习的利益相关者具有价值。开始在线嵌入服务的图书馆员也应该会发现结果很有用。
