Posted on behalf of the Mentoring Committee of the New Members Round Table (NMRT) of ALADo you sometimes feel you have professional questions to ask and no one to direct them to?
Do you find yourself wishing that someone would have been there to teach you all that you now know?
Would you like to walk alongside a new librarian as they enter the profession?
Here
is your chance to participate in a great new project from the New
Members Round Table of ALA (NMRT), to meet a new librarian ally, and to
have someone to guide as they learn the ins and outs of librarianship.
The NMRT Mentoring Committee's Career Mentoring Program focuses on long
term mentoring. We will pair up "newbie librarians" with "seasoned vets"
as part of a year-long mentoring program.
The NMRT Career
Mentoring program will last from October 2014 to July 2015. Conference
attendance is not required, but membership in ALA is required, and NMRT
membership is encouraged. Applications are due October 3, 2014 with the
goal of notifying the matching pairs by the end of October.

Sincerely,
The New Member Round Table Mentoring Committee
