[Libs-Or] ALA-NMRT Conference Mentoring Program seeks experienced librarians

[Tattersall, Lisa]

Dear colleagues,

The New Members Round Table (NMRT) Mentoring Committee is pleased to
announce that they are accepting applications for their Conference
Mentoring Program for the ALA Annual Conference in July.

Have you been a librarian for 5 years or more? Do you have experience
attending ALA conferences? Do you find yourself wishing that someone
would have been there to teach you all that you now know about attending
conferences? Do you find yourself wondering to whom you can impart all
this hard-fought knowledge?

In that case, we have just the person! The Conference Mentoring Program
is open to all ALA members and is designed to connect a first time
conference attendee with a seasoned professional who can help him or her
navigate the ALA Annual Conference.

Interested in volunteering as a Conference Mentor? For the guidelines
and an online application form please visit
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/nmrt/oversightgroups/comm/mentor/confer
enceMentorApp.cfm

The application deadline is June 15, 2009. Applicants will be matched
with a Conference Mentee in June and communicate via email or telephone
prior to the conference and then meet during the conference. If you have
questions, please contact the NMRT Mentoring Committee at
nmrt_mentoring at yahoo.com Please feel free to share this invitation with
your colleagues.

Please note that this mentoring program is not structured to provide
career guidance, it is focused on issues related to the ALA Annual
Conference. NMRT also offers a Career Mentoring program that will begin
taking applications at the end of the summer. Please watch your email
for an announcement regarding Career Mentoring later this year.
