摘要：The utmost priority of a nation is to manage and coordinate its nation-wide S&T activities. The responsibility of the government of the a country lies in developing and promoting the scientific endeavours/activities/temper in advancement of S&T and ensuring economic growth by the use and commercialisation of S&T. The S&T base involved in natural sciences, technological sciences and engineering technologies of the country covers governmental S&T departments, science foundations, scientific organisations, academic institutions, R&D organisations, etc. National S&T programme system includes R&D project programmes, S&T capability building, S&T supporting environment building, S&T base construction, S&T services, and so on. For successful performance of all these highly important tasks, information is required, which may be sufficient to be only provided on day to day basis or from a distance, but the time has come when it is to be provided by someone who understands the requirements (present and future) of the projects being a proud part of the team carrying out the R&D as a team member in the most efficient and effective manner. In other words, there is a dire need of embedded librarians in the S&T environment. This paper highlights the requirement of embedded librarians and the changing role they have to adopt and perform for the nation’s S&T development.http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/djlit.34.6.8095
