The call for mentors for the RUSA History Section mentoring program has been extended through this Friday, August 13 to help us find a match for everyone. Please consider volunteering to serve as a mentor by completing the
Mentor Application Form. No previous experience serving as a mentor is required. The program offers guidance to mentors for discussion topics and sends reminders to help mentoring pairs stay engaged throughout the year. This is a great opportunity to share what you know about history librarianship with someone new to this area of work and/or to the profession. These mentoring relationships benefit both mentors and mentees and feedback from our first year of the program confirms it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the mentoring committee chair, Amanda Binder at
abinder3@uncc.edu.
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.
