Abstract/Description
This article explores the impact of embedding a research and instruction librarian within the graduate school at East Texas A&M University to address the unique research challenges faced by graduate students. Relocating the librarian to the graduate school increased accessibility to library services, promoted personalized support, and enhanced visibility among students and faculty. Data collected through LibInsight and user feedback revealed significant increases in research consultations, workshop attendance, and faculty engagement following the relocation. The initiative also led to the development of targeted instructional resources and collaborative research tools. While logistical and awareness challenges were encountered, the outcomes highlight the effectiveness of embedded librarianship in improving graduate student achievement and fostering deeper integration of library services within academic programs.
