The main idea is that you join a group of about 5 people, randomly selected (by choosing a sweet of a particular colour on the day!). I had picked an orange sweet, so I've become a member of Outrageous Orange (one of the group's first task's was to choose a name). It turned out that 3 of the other members were engineering librarians, and one had been an engineering librarian in the past - serendipity! I can only claim connection with having supervised Dr Evi Tramantza's PhD, which was on engineering students' information literacy and also Laura Woods is investigating female engineering students' information exoerience for her PhD. We will be keeping in touch with each other over the next year to exchange experience, including through quarterly meetings organised by the LILAC organisers (led by Laura Woods). If it's OK with the rest of the group, I will keep you updated on how it goes.
