[edit] Gurus and Greenhorns: Mentoring the Next Generation of School and Youth Services Librarians

[edit] Project Description and Goals

With a proposal by AASL and YALSA, Project K has set out to create a mentoring program for those divisions of ALA. The project plan consists of a proposal that would create an opportunity for upcoming and recent graduates of an MLS program to be paired with an experienced school or youth services librarian. The goals of the project are the following:

  • Encourage participation in a formal, professional learning environment specializing in youth and school library media services
  • Foster the development of leadership and supervisory skills
  • Create new relationships and networks with professionals
  • Offer a continuing education opportunity
  • Increase involvement in professional organization(s)

[edit] Words from our contacts at AASL and YALSA

  • "The purpose of the mentoring program is to grow leaders in the profession and in the association. In the field of librarianship, the rate of attrition is high with the under 35 age group. They are good, qualified people who are going elsewhere." ~ Beth Yoke ~
  • "The association needs a way to make a personal connection with new members so that they feel welcome and are offered the opportunity to engage if they so choose." ~ Julie Walker ~
  • Through "engaging with an association of professional peers, through networking, continuing education and involvement in governance activities, school library media specialists increase their professional expertise and enhance their career." ~ Julie Walker ~
