Students as partners Library celebration event

At the heart of the library’s vision ‘The Library Towards 2025’ is our ambition to be a library that is connected, that goes beyond providing just a service and a building and to work in partnership with all our Lancaster University communities, which includes providing students with opportunities to work with the library and have a central role in its development. We have developed a ‘students as partners approach’, employing undergraduate and postgraduate students to:

• Ensure the student voice is embedded in all the Library and Learning Development does;
• Co-create services, activities and spaces;
• Increase graduate employability and academic performance; and
• Provide paid employment for students on campus.

On 15^th June we held a celebration event to recognise and celebrate the activities our students are involved in, which included representation from the following schemes at a world café style event, attended by staff and students across the Library and Learning Development, including:

• MASH tutors
• Reciprocal Mentoring Scheme
• LUMS Leading Lights
• Academic Writing Zone
• Library Schools Ambassadors
• English Language Assistants
• Library Student Ambassadors
• FASS Academic Writing Space
• LUMS Academic Writing Zone

If you are interested in working with the Library, we advertise student roles across the year through the Employment Recruitment Service.
