Mentoring Our Future Colleagues
The Mentorship Program of the CLA Student Chapter at the University of Western Ontario is currently recruiting mentors for the upcoming winter term. OLITA Council asks that you consider volunteering for their program.
The importance of mentoring library and information science (LIS) students cannot be underestimated. Among other things it demonstrates a commitment to personal and professional development of self by the students, and for practicing librarians a commitment to colleagues and the profession, provides role modeling for professional leadership and facilitates the development of increased competencies and stronger interpersonal skills, and encourages students’ active involvement in the profession and in our LIS associations.
The mentorship program has been successfully matching students in the MLIS program at Western with professionals in the LIS field since its inception. Suggested topics for discussion between mentors and their student mentees include:
- resume review
- course recommendations
- industry overviews
- professional trends
- current issues
- job shadowing
- library tours
- attending conferences
- introductions to other professionals in the field
They have been receiving very positive feedback from both mentors and mentees involved in the program and we invite you to participate! If you would like to learn more about the program or to register to be a mentor for an LIS student please email westernmentorship@gmail.com and don’t forget to indicate your membership in OLITA!
