We are embedded librarians in a second semester organic chemistry course at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Librarian involvement in this

course consists of approximately six hours of instruction. The chemistry librarians lead the students in six separate modules which encompass the following topics: searching for analytical data, searching for a chemical structure and synthetic procedure, searching for a reagent, searching for an experimental procedure, and finally, searching for scientific papers by a known author. The course was developed in collaboration between the chemistry librarians and instructors of the course and has continued to evolve along with technology and information tools.
