Survey on academic library mentoring experiences

  • 1.  Survey on academic library mentoring experiences

    Posted Jul 10, 2017 08:26 AM

    Mentoring has the potential of impacting individual lives and the profession of librarianship. Mentoring connotes a wise, trusted counselor, guiding someone less experienced. In academic librarianship, mentoring may operate in different ways for different purposes. What has your mentoring experience entailed?


    If you have been either a mentee or a mentor (or both) and work in an academic library, we would very much appreciate your completing the survey at https://goo.gl/e5QYvL. It consists of approximately 20 questions and should take 10-15 minutes to complete.


    Your responses will be kept anonymous, and data other than text comments will only be presented in aggregate form. Findings will be reported at the Academic Library Association of Ohio Annual Conference, and a summary of the results will be posted to the listserv where you found the survey link.


    Please complete the survey before August 4. Thank you for making time to help one another grow professionally!
