Madre Maria Teresa Guevara Library

Universidad del Sagrado Corazón’s Madre Mara Teresa Guevara Library will create a framework that pairs embedded librarians with designated faculty liaisons and subject-matter experts to co-produce research knowledge. The planning grant will reposition librarians from information mediators to active members of research development teams, leveraging information literacy expertise, while curating collaborative research experiences. Using a mixed-methods approach, the project team will address specialized capacity building and technical upskilling for the research lifecycle, solidify alliances though the faculty liaison framework, co-design an advanced information literacy curriculum, launch a research-driven hub pilot at the library, and develop a feasibility analysis and blueprint for scaling. As a result, the project will establish a scalable model for embedded librarianship.
