9. Benefit: Increase of Student Success in Research-Based Assignments Testimonial to How Student Success Has Increased In the fall of 2013, the Health Sciences Librarian was embedded into one of the online radiation therapy courses. In the course, students completed a review and summary of scholarly articles related to new advancements in the field of oncology. Embedding a librarian within the course positively impacted student success in this research-based assignment. The average rubric score was well above average. I believe the expanded access to the librarian within the online class was a key factor in students achieving such success. Students seemed more willing and less self-conscious about the seeking assistance of the librarian because of her presence within the course.
