Abstract
The article describes a University of Nottingham scheme in which science and engineering students have been acting as library student ambassadors (Learning Resource Leaders) to engage their peers on library issues. The project was based upon the premise that science and engineering students make less use of their library resources than other disciplines, and began with a project to employ library student ambassadors, funded by a Teaching Innovation Award at Loughborough University. This inspired a joint HE STEM funded project between Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham to find a sustainable (non-pay) model for motivating science and engineering students to act as change agents in the library. The project included library staff from both institutions as well as an academic member of staff from an appropriate discipline to add valuable credence to the project.
