The LAUC-B Executive Committee invites volunteers to join the LAUC-B Mentoring Program as mentors. The purpose of this program is to pair a new librarian with an “experienced” librarian (that is, someone who has been here for at least 5 years). It is an informal and unstructured program in which a mentor librarian:

• Helps with orienting their mentee to the campus/library environment
• Offers recommendations, suggestions or opinions
• Coaches or advises on the peer review process
• Provides ongoing support for academic and professional development

The only qualification, other than an interest in developing a relationship with a new-to-the-system librarian, is that you have at least five years librarian experience at UCB.

It should be a rewarding and worthwhile experience for all parties; it is a great way to strengthen our ranks while at the same time contributing to LAUC-B and your own professional development.

*Added bonus: LAUC-B will treat you and your mentee to your first lunch together at the Women’s Faculty Club.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or learning more about the program, please contact Kai Stoeckenius, Mentor Program Coordinator.
