From the Outside In: Bringing Student Engagement to the Centre
New Review of Academic Librarianship, v26 n2-4 p419-432 2020
This case study looks at the University of Manchester Library Student Team (UMLST) as a model for inclusive community engagement. It examines the impact of working with students as co-creators and explores how the ideas, insights and value they bring serve to drive change in a way that enables the Library to deliver in relation to current student needs, rather than react to past requirements. It discusses how the UMLST have engaged in and delivered peer-led support, how they have shaped space and policies and how this model places the Library within the community, instead of framing the community as an outside group or other with which to engage.
