“…Academic library research over the last twenty years demonstrates compelling evidence that students often prefer to ask their peers for assistance over other available options (Adriani et al, 2020;Bandyopadhyay and Boyd-Byrne, 2016;Bodemer, 2014;Clark et al, 2020;Faix et al, 2010;Gardener and Eng, 2005;Head and Eisenberg, 2010;Massey-Burzio, 1998;Maxson et al, 2019;Miller, 2017;Miller and Murillo, 2012;O'Kelly, 2015;Stevens, 2013;Ten Cate and Durning, 2007).

PurposeImplementing peer-to-peer learning models within an academic library environment presents several benefits and challenges. This study explores the effectiveness of integrating peer-assisted learning in research services and considers the impact on those providing support and those seeking assistance. A more comprehensive understanding of peer education approaches in research support services will benefit academic libraries interested in incorporating this model.Design/methodology/approachThis article showcases case study data from the reference and instruction peer-led learning programs at California State University Fullerton's Pollak Library, incorporating library interns and student assistants trained to provide front line research support to fellow students from 2019 to 2022. Feedback was collected across the learning experience from student facilitators, patrons assisted and participating library supervisors.FindingsProject data demonstrates that incorporating students in traditional academic library research services nurtures experiential learning and serves as an effective high-impact practice. Additionally, peer-led programs contribute to a helpful, welcoming atmosphere for library users and help connect libraries to the communities they serve.Originality/valueExploring survey data and student reflections, this combined study highlights advantages and implications of incorporating peer learning programs in research services in both formal and informal instruction environments. Results also reveal promising methods for recruitment, training and sustainable program development for libraries considering this approach.
