Ellen Hampton Filgo, an academic librarian at Baylor University, conceptualizes her work as an embedded librarian as improvisational, like jazz, as her instructional help and interaction with students plays off the class discussion in which she participates through Twitter and blogs. This case study outlines how Filgo became a vital resource for class discussions and research on a weekly basis in a first-year university honors course exploring new media studies.
