This four-hour workshop will be modeled on the successful Banff workshop led by Margaret Law that kicked off the year-long ARLIS/NA Mentoring Program. The workshop, which will be facilitated by Sarah Carter and Rachel Resnik, will feature an introduction to mentoring, viewing of a dvd of the Banff workshop, discussion, role-playing, and breakout sessions with mentor/mentee pairs. Characteristics of mentors, mentees, and the mentoring relationship; methods of communication; and benefits and potential pitfalls of mentoring will be discussed. ARLIS members who want to participate in the year-long Career Mentoring Program will fill out an application to facilitate matching, and will be required to attend the workshop. For more information contact V. Heidi Hass, chair of the Mentoring Subcommittee at vhhass@themorgan.org.
