October Ivins has worked in various library and information science roles since 1985, including positions at UNC Chapel Hill Library, LSU Baton Rouge Library, and UT Austin. She has been involved with professional organizations like ALA, NASIG, and SSP since 1981. As an independent consultant since 2001, Ivins mentors others on career development topics such as getting the most out of conferences, choosing positions, supervisor and coworker issues, and professional associations. Her document provides advice on training opportunities, managing staff, getting referrals, and preparing for phone interviews.
Early in one's career, a formal mentor is not necessary as support can be found from observing mid-to-late career colleagues. Peer mentoring through collaboration with other managers, especially other women managers, can also be effective. As careers advance, having a women mentor becomes important as women face unique challenges in the workplace and mentors help other women navigate their careers. Without any mentor, one risks lacking career advice, feeling stagnant in their career progression, and experiencing periods of career confusion with no expert to provide guidance.
Adrian Stanley discussed his experience mentoring fellows through the SSP program. He explained that mentoring involves softer guidance to help mentees develop over the long term through balanced listening, directing, and connecting. Fellows benefit from the experience and connections of mentors, who can help open doors, share new perspectives, and make introductions to expand networks and opportunities in the industry. Feedback from fellows showed mentoring helped them learn from experience, feel more included and secure asking questions, and broaden their industry perspectives.
The document discusses two kinds of mentorship at the nonprofit organization BioOne. It provides an overview of BioOne's mission to make scientific research more accessible and its founding by both library and publisher interests.

It also outlines her work experience at UT Austin SILS from 1995-1998, Publist.com from 1998-2000, Booktech.com from 2000-2001, and as an independent consultant from 2001-present. The document then discusses how her definition of an information professional has loosened over time to include various managerial roles. It concludes by listing topics she provides career coaching and mentoring on, such as choosing jobs
Mohammad H Asadi Lari presented on creating an office culture of mentorship from the perspective of an early career student and mentee. He discussed his experiences being mentored through the SSP Fellowship program and beyond. Emerging trends in early career mentorship include more organizations introducing formal mentorship opportunities and an increase in both professional and peer mentoring models. Mentorship provides visible benefits like networking and career development, as well as hidden benefits beyond initial programs.
This document discusses opportunities for Western academic publishers in China. It notes that China is a rapidly growing market with increasing research output and funding. However, it is also highly competitive. The document outlines several strategies publishers can consider to engage with the Chinese market, including developing local language materials, using social media platforms allowed in China, attending Chinese conferences, exploring co-publishing opportunities with Chinese partners, and developing a long-term strategic plan focused on impact and relationships within China. It also discusses China's increasing open access policies and investments in research universities that could affect publishing opportunities.
This document discusses JSTOR's growing participation in Turkey from 1999-2014. It shows that participation grew slowly at first but increased significantly after the Turkish government began funding access to JSTOR collections through the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium in 2005. Participation and number of collections licensed continued to grow steadily through partnerships with the consortium and engaging a licensing agent in 2013. While agents can help with local representation, awareness, and relationships, they also present challenges of managing expectations, competing demands, and individuals not reporting to JSTOR.
