We want YOU to become a Mentor! The mission of the Mentoring Committee is to help AJL members who are new to the field or new to some aspect of their jobs find a "point person" to whom they can turn for advice when they have questions. The Mentor does not do their job for them or act as an unpaid consultant; rather the Mentor provides direction and moral support, and helps "newbies" avoid reinventing the wheel.
Why should you become a Mentor? Here's a Top Five list for you... 1. It's a mitzvah. 2. You'll learn by teaching. 3. You'll ensure that the field of Judaica librarianship remains strong and vibrant. 4. You'll nurture future AJL leaders. 5. It'll look great on your resume. We've only got a handful of names so far, and we need a solid pool of Mentors before we can invite newcomers to become Mentees. Please help this new AJL program get off the ground by volunteering to be a Mentor! Send in your name to Heidi Estrin, Chair of the Mentoring Committee, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are also welcome to email me with questions about the program before committing yourself, of course! ========================================================================== HaSafran - The Electronic Forum of the Association of Jewish Libraries Submissions for HaSafran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org/
