Just wanted to update the community on one mentoring duo's progress. Heather Backman and I talk every two weeks by phone. In addition, while she was in Boston working an internship at the Brookline PL, we were able to arrange a tour of the Harvard Depository, for which I'm responsible at Harvard University Library. I believe she found it interesting, but she'll need to make that call. Meanwhile, since she returned to Ann Arbor for her last two semesters of library school, our conversations have ranged from chat about classes to her search for PL jobs and internships in the area (first still pending, successful on the second count!) to philosophical discussion of the future of the library to advice on dealing with workplace conflict. All in all, it's been enriching for me, and I hope the same goes for Heather!
I would urge others to add entries to this discussion.
