Would you like to expand your views on a science technology librarianship? Are you a library student or new librarian with lots of questions, and looking to find some insight into the profession and hear more advice? Are you considering a career change switching to STEM librarianship or looking to proceed with your career development and take it to another level: managerial or supervisory
Do you consider yourself a seasoned librarian who has gained experience and insight into the profession and could share it with a novice colleague?
If either idea works for you, consider joining the Association of College & Research Libraries Science & Technology Section (STS) Mentoring Program. Prospective mentees: check out the STS Mentoring Program Mentee Application, and prospective mentors should check the STS Mentoring Program Mentor Application. If you volunteered to become a mentor in previous years, please confirm your availability for the year 2022-2023.
Once you fill out the form, we will do our best to match prospective mentees with their mentors, and then help you establish goals and expectations with a provided worksheet and send you some discussion prompts along the way.
Participants should be STS members or interested in becoming STS members. Once matched in the program, mentees are expected to join STS.
