Abstract
This practice paper reports on qualitative research examining ‘digital champion’ volunteers at Newcastle City Library, focusing on their motivations for volunteering and the feelings of social and digital belonging they experience. The research identified four categories of motivators that resulted in successful volunteering, relating to individual, people, employment and environmental factors. Suggestions for tackling challenges are identified, in addition to key recommendations for successful value-added volunteer use.
