Embedded Librarianship is a descendant of subject librarianship in academic libraries. Hine (2013) claims that embedded librarianship originated as a solution to the problems that were encountered in subject librarianship such as poor bibliographic access to collections and inconsistent physical access. Authors such as also claim that embedded librarianship was established because academic librarians needed to collaborate with members of their faculties instead of merely passively providing collections. While authors such as have claimed that embedded librarianship has been developed through the growth of ICTs requiring the need for academic librarians to participate in platforms where their communities interact.
