I thought that the phone calls were helpful. Our in person meeting at the Boston conference was very worthwhile. -Beverly Mitchell (Mentee 2009-2010)

- 13. TO BE A MENTOR
- 14. Mentor Comment: Perspective Even though I was the mentor, I was also challenged and learned a few things about myself. I was often asked questions about my management style and had never really had to talk about that, so it helped me really think about my methods and how I react to problems and issues. --Alyssa Resnick (Mentor 2009-2010)

Editor's Notes
- On behalf of the ARLIS/NA Mentoring Subcommittee, we are happy to have everyone attending this webinar. My goal today is to explain more about the program and encourage you to apply.I’m going to start by comparing the Career Mentoring program to the popular Conference Networking/Mentoring program. This is to dispel any confusion about the two distinct programs.Next I’ll talk about the schedule for this year’s mentoring program, a bit about the content included, and what our past participants have said. I’ll end by giving you the application details.
- Conference Networking/Mentoring: An experienced member meets with a “newbie” member for coffee at the conference. The mentor introduces their partner at conference events, answers questions about the schedule, etcCareer Mentoring: Partners focus on providing perspective to each other in ongoing discussion throughout the year.
- The Career Mentoring program will be kicked-off with a workshop in Minneapolis in MarchThis is a 4 hour training – comprised of of DVD lecture, role-playing exercises, discussion.Margaret Law is the host of the DVD.Workshop is facilitated in person by Sarah Sherman and Rachel Resnik, members of the ARLIS/NA Mentoring Subcommittee
- Benefits of Mentoring in one word – perspective. Both parties receive increased perspective on questions, issues, and problems. The purpose of this program is to pair you with someone with whom you will spend time your investigating professional beliefs. Perspective is crucial for this.For newer professionals, this might include gaining perspective on job interviews and salary negotiations, issues of professionalism, interpersonal issues, and more.Veteran professionals often gain an affirmation of their professional purpose, exposure to current theories and literature taught in graduate school, and a challenge to examine their long-held beliefs.
- We’re going to have you break out into small groups or pairs for three separate exercises. You’ll come back to the group for a discussion so that the group can learn and process their learning.
- Talking with your partner about the issues you want to approach throughout the year. What are the topics you’d like to cover? Are there any boundaries you want to set?
- Decide how you want to talk to each other throughout the year, whether via phone, email, chat, skype, in-person, etc.
- Communication varies based on each pairing. Some people communicate quite a lot if the mentee is offered a job or has the opportunity to negotiate a salary. It should be what you are comfortable with, but we suggest touching base at least monthly.
- We’ll ask you to assess our program before you leave. You’ll get another chance to tell us what you think in February 2012 when we send you an evaluation survey via email.
- Before the February evaluation survey, the Mentoring Subcommittee will do a mid-year check-in to ensure that you are still on track with your communication and goals. If you’ve fallen off the mentoring bandwagon, the committee is there to help get you back on.
- We are especially interested in recruiting mentors. One of the workshop takeaways that Margaret provides is that we should all consider not only having a mentor, but being a mentor. Please mention this program to your colleagues and suggest that they get involved. If you are a mentee and want to ask someone to join the program as your mentor, we are open
- Along the lines of persuasion, please see this article for further information about successful mentoring. The Southern California chapter’s newsletter includes a report on Antoinette and Kristy, interviewed by Sarah Sherman.
- I’m going to end with two slides with details answering where and when.
- You can check off a box on he Minneapolis conference registration form that you are interested in this program. However, to be considered for participation, you’ll need to fill out the application form.
