A pedagogical approach of problem-based learning with embedded
librarianship in several undergraduate mathematics courses is implemented
in this educational research. The students are assigned
to work on several projects on various applications of mathematical
topics in daily life and submit written reports. An embedded
librarian collaborates together with the instructor and the students
to improve the students' information literacy. Initial reaction and
anecdotal evidence show that the students' information literacy and
academic performance have improved throughout the semesters.
