Canadian Association of Law Libraries Mentorship Program Applications Now Open

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries Mentorship Program is open for 2016. This is a unique opportunity for CALL members to grow professionally and network within the profession:

"The CALL Mentorship Program is an initiative intended to connect law library professionals pursuing new professional development with more experienced professionals. The program aims to foster positive relationships between members that will promote growth, leadership, and commitment to the profession. Mentees can come from any background in legal librarianship or even straight from a library program at the university or college level. There is no maximum number of years in the profession for mentees - if you feel that you would like to grow as a professional in your job or your new tasks, and would benefit from the guidance and support of another professional, then being a mentee could be for you. Similarly, mentors can come from any area of legal librarianship with no set minimum number of years in the profession. As a guideline, however, we suggest five years’ experience. Mentors have the opportunity to help in the professional growth of a colleague and, by extension, strengthen legal librarianship as a profession."

The application form for both mentees and mentors is on the CALL website. Applications must be sent in by Thursday, March 24.
