Good morning all-
Jersey Needs Mentors!
We know that one of the greatest benefits members get from chapter and division (community) membership in SLA
is the relationships between librarians-
early career folks meeting those established in their profession, mid-career members making friendships that will last them decades into retirement.
And the NJ SLA Board, knowing that creating those relationships anew during a pandemic has been so tough,
wants to use the Open Community and the NJ SLA Website to seed mentors and mentees anew!
Like other communities such as
PAM (Physics Astronomy Mathematics), we're going to build a mentor page;
it's just as simple as putting a little bit of information out there:
Name
Contact (phone, email, LinkedIn, what you're comfortable with)
Areas you've worked in
Skills you're proudest of
Things you'd like to learn
Please reach out to me (
emoore@ias.edu ) or other members of the NJ SLA Board if you're interested!
