- © 2020 ACM.This study aimed to know the impact of an embedded librarian on the development of meta-literacy skills and conceptual evolution in higher education students. The study took place inside two online education field courses and was framed into a mixed methods approach with self-developed questionnaires (pretestposttest) about conceptual evolution. Seeking to improving conceptual evolution, an online workshop based on the consolidated standards required to develop meta-literacy skills in higher education students was developed and students were invited to join voluntarily. The final sample was composed by 61 students from different Latinamerican countries. Findings demonstrated the relevance and favorable impact of having an embedded librarian in regular courses improving both aspects: metaliteracy skills development and conceptual evolution. It was also remarkable the importance of having a good sense of community and teamwork between teachers and librarians in order to succeed in this kind of strategies.
