Would you like to share your professional experience in history librarianship? Are you interested in guiding and building a relationship with a new colleague? Are you a new or prospective history librarian seeking guidance? Do you need advice about collection development, reference, instruction, job-seeking, or anything else in the field of history librarianship? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please consider joining the RUSA History Section Academic Librarians Committee mentoring program!
The purpose of the RUSA HS ALC mentoring program is to provide professional development for the section by connecting experienced history librarians with those new to the field in mentor/mentee pairs. Mentors and mentees do not need to be a member of the section but preference will be given to members. The mentoring relationship can take place entirely online and the committee will provide prompts to keep the discussion flowing.
More information about the program can be found here: Mentoring Program Guidelines
In order to create mentor/mentee pairs by the beginning of the Fall Semester, please fill out the appropriate online application below by August 15, 2025 and send your CV to Kaitlyn Tanis at kltanis@udel.edu
