Both new librarians and those changing directions in the field can
benefit greatly from a relationship with a positive and supportive
mentor. In this anthology, public, school, academic, and special
librarians, as well as LIS faculty and consultants, offer expertise
and wisdom for those wishing to become a mentor or a protege or
those wishing to implement a mentoring program within their library
or library association. Topics include philosophical reasons for
choosing to enter a mentor relationship, practical tips on setting
up a program, internships, practicums, job shadowing, virtual
reference, opportunities for those new to the profession and those
in mid career, and mentoring across disciplines. By sharing their
personal successes as well as their failures in mentoring, the 35
contributors offer sound advice backed by years of experience,
advice that will aid all librarians who seek guidance or wish to
guide the future of the library profession.
