Abstract

In 2017 the Sherrod Library at East Tennessee State University created the Library Ambassador Program as a peer-reference model of service for research help. Since that time, our program has grown into a large close-knit community of undergraduate students invested in forwarding information literacy across campus. Learn about how this unique program fosters a sense of community among the student workers it employs and throughout the larger college campus community.
