Thank you to all those who have expressed interest (or who are about to express interest!) in becoming an AJL Mentor!
The Mentoring Committee is working on a handout that will provide guidelines for mentors and mentees, but in the meantime I can tell you that it should not be an overwhelming job. It's really very similar to our "regular" jobs as librarians -- it's a matter of helping someone find the information they need, sometimes by simply giving them the answer, other times by leading them to a good info source. The Committee has created a standard form for collecting info about mentors. Could you please answer the questions below, to help us match you with the most appropriate mentee? Your Name: Your Library's name & address: Phone Number: Email Address: Areas of expertise (i.e. geneaology, cataloging, children's services, etc.): Type of Library (i.e. school, temple, university, Holocaust center, etc.): Cataloging system used (i.e. Dewey, LC, Elazar, Weine): If automated, what software do you use?: Thanks for volunteering!
