Mentoring - 34 Resources

Overview

What Is Mentoring?

A Learning Collaboration-a developmental caring, sharing, and helping relationship with a focus on the enhancement of the protégé's or mentee's growth and skill development.

Mentoring is just-in time help, insight into issues, and the sharing of expertise, values, skills, and perspectives. Mentors function as a catalyst-an agent that provokes a reaction that might not otherwise have taken place or speeds up a reaction that might have taken place in the future.

Within the corporate sector, such programs are common at the initial entry of an employee into the organization.

• Georgia Tech Mentor Tech Mentoring Program
• University of California, Riverside Staff Mentoring Program
• University of Missouri, St. Louis
• University of Dayton Mentoring Program

Examples of one-to-one matching programs for librarians include:

Mentoring is an educational process where the mentor serves as a role model, trusted counselor or teacher who provides opportunities for professional development, growth and support to less experienced individuals in career planning or employment settings.
