Abstract
The article is based on the methodology of selecting publications for reviewing proposed earlier (see Scientific and Technical Journal. 2022. No. 11. Р. 56–82). This methodology enables to systematize the process of publication selection with the results cited in the protocol. The “embedded librarianship” concept definition is based on the activity component. Three subject vectors are high-lighted in visualization of the study subject scope, namely, librarians in medical environment, librarians in education, and librarians involved in scientific research. The conventional embedded librarian’s profile is formulated, with the professional functionality described and environment characterized. The specialist’s basic competences are information literacy and client orientation. Being complemented with unique competences, the basic skills enable the embedded librarians to transfer from the status of resource-users agent to that of research group full-fledged participant. The author suggests her adapted translations of the concept names.“Embedded librarianship” has substantial potential within the framework of scientific research information support in the form of reviews, which explains why the reviews are seen as an informative source, in particular for the librarians developing library programs with “embedded” information services. The concept may be used for organizing services in research and academic libraries.
