Share your research knowledge and experience with the LRRT Virtual Mentorship Program

  • 1.  Share your research knowledge and experience with the LRRT Virtual Mentorship Program

    Posted Jul 27, 2022 11:13 AM

    The Library Research Round Table is seeking librarians and researchers in the library and information sciences for our first cohort of our Virtual Mentorship Program, which is set to start in early September, 2022.  The primary purposes of this program are to promote and support the development of rigorous, substantive research in library and information science, and to help individual scholars succeed professionally.  We are actively seeking members of our community who have had some experience with conducting research, presenting their work, and writing and publishing articles.   You need not have the extensive expertise of a sage, a distinguished researcher, or a professor emeritus.  Your experience and knowledge of the process, the methodologies, and the nitty-gritty details of getting a research project started, funded, completed, and reported on would be welcomed by those who are just starting out on their own research journey.  While we have had strong responses from those interested in participating, we are seeking a balance of mentors to meet the needs of mentees.  Please consider the benefits you would gain by sharing your expertise and experiences, including enhancing the knowledge base of the profession.

    If you would like to learn more about this program, please watch the recording of our Webinar from Friday, July 15, 2022:

    If you would like to participate in the inaugural cohort of the LRRT Virtual Mentorship Program, please complete the registration form (https://tinyurl.com/LRRTMentoringApp) by July 31st, 2022.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the LRRT Virtual Mentorship Program Subcommittee at ala.lrrt.mentoringprogram@gmail.com .
