Greetings colleagues! There is another opportunity to participate in mentorship, but in a virtual format. If you couldn't attend ALA live, here's your chance to mentor budding historians!
The central purposes of the Library Research Round Table (LRRT) Virtual Mentorship Program are to promote and support the development of rigorous, substantive research in library and information and library science, and to help individual scholars succeed professionally. Through professional relationships with experienced mentors, each mentee will develop skills in areas like creating research designs, conducting surveys, collecting and analyzing data, writing papers and disseminating the results to both the research and professional library communities.
We are seeking both mentors and mentees to participate in the premier launch of this new program. If you are seeking an opportunity to not only share your experiences but learn from budding researchers, we hope you will consider mentoring. If you are seeking an opportunity to expand and apply your knowledge and skills related to conducting any kind of research project, we hope you will consider participating as a mentee.
Given the many changes in work and career since COVID, we are seeking feedback from potential participants on the final look and feel of the program. If you missed our in-person session at ALA Annual, please join us at our online Webinar on Friday, July 15, 1PM CDT to learn more, as well as provide your own input as we finalize the details. Please register for the event at https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMsdeCspj0jGdQZYI8Km0bae3kx6bJt3cOn .
