Colleagues/
I am pleased to inform you of the lauch of the _Student Library Ambassadors_ that is "devoted to documenting initiatives in which students are directly or indirectly involved in promoting library collections, events, services, etc. to fellow students, as well as to faculty, and/or staff."
_The Student Library Ambassadors_ blog is located at
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/
It has been seeded with the following initiatives and studies:
Clemson University > What Are Library Ambassadors
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/2013/08/clemson-university-what-are-library.html
Loughborough University >Engaging the Disengaged – Indefinitely: Creating a Sustainable Model for Student Library Ambassadors
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/2013/08/engaging-disengaged-indefinitely.html
University of Connecticut > Student Ambassador Program Connects Students and Library Resources
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/2013/08/university-of-connecticul-student.html
University of Exeter > Championing the Library Involving Students in Development, Advocacy and Stock Selection
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/2013/08/championing-library-involving-students.html
University of Toronto > Student Library Ambassador (Graduate)
http://studentlibraryambassadors.blogspot.com/2013/08/university-of-toronto-student-library.html
As time permits. I will continue my project and literature searches and plan to create a survey requesting information about other initiatives (and relevant literature) that I hope to post later this week [?].
