The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

ACRL College Libraries Section Mentorship Opportunity

  • 1.  ACRL College Libraries Section Mentorship Opportunity

    Posted Sep 24, 2024 09:01 AM

    Dear colleagues, [with apologies if you've received multiple e-mails through cross-posting],

    Are you working in an undergraduate-focused university/college setting? Would you like to be mentored by, or mentor, a colleague who also works in a library at such an institution? The College Libraries Section of ACRL wants to hear from you!

    We hope to establish a mentoring program that will be responsive to the distinct challenges and opportunities for library employees at these colleges and universities, which are often smaller and task library workers with broad portfolios of responsibilities.

    We welcome your responses to this 2-minute survey assessing the interest level, preferences, and needs of potential participants in such a mentoring program. The brief survey will remain open through Friday, Oct. 11.

    If you have questions, or would like more information about this initiative, please contact ACRL CLS Mentor Committee co-chairs Britt Anne Murphy (Johnsen@hendrix.edu) and Luke Vilelle (lvilelle@hollins.edu).  

    Thank you for your consideration.

    The ACRL CLS Mentor Committee
