Mentoring

Mentoring is about developing a relationship dedicated to building and sustaining professional and personal effectiveness and to career advancement.

Having a mentor can help you:

• Learn from the experiences of other librarians

• Develop relationships with librarians and KASL members

• Identify and achieve your goals

• Support and encourage career advancement

• Grow your Professional Learning Network

Expectations for mentors and mentees:

• Plan to become a KASL member if not already

• Willingness to communicate with mentor/mentee as often as necessary (suggested 4-6 times per year)

• Share knowledge, skills, and experiences with each other

If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee, please contact our Mentoring Committee Chairs, James Allen (new members) and Jason Highley (NBCT members).
