You are cordially invited to attend the AJL Mentoring Committee/Chicago Conference. Location: TBA Time: 5 PM. This year has proven to be one of exceptional challenges and unforeseen difficulties. I together with Suzie Dubin and past committee members have been discussing how the Mentoring Committee might rise to meet the occasion. Some suggestions have been: · Approach mentoring in a collaborative fashion. · Direct requests for mentors to originate at the local chapter (or division) · Encourage new members to familiarize themselves with the AJL homepage, underscoring its resources (e.g. bibliographies, useful links) · Suggest that they subscribe to the Hasafran listerv (and local usergroups where available) · Advise these members to join appropriate library associations (for networking, professional development, collaboration) · Where local support is lacking, allow mentors to request a mentor from the AJL Mentoring Committee · Establish a resource of experience subject specialists who will volunteer to answer questions remotely through the Mentoring Committee portal on the homepage. Applications for both mentors and mentees will be available online and at the conference after Passover. Prospective mentors (or subject specialists) should contact Stephanie (Sara Leah) Gross, Chair of the AJL Mentoring Committee.
