- Introduction
Often, East Asian librarians work at institutions with no other librarians in their specific area (Chinese, Japanese or Korean librarianship). In smaller institutions, there may be only one East Asian Librarian. This isolation often makes it difficult or impossible for a newcomer to get help learning the ropes of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean librarianship. To meet this need, the CEAL Membership Committee has inaugurated a mentoring program to help match experienced East Asian librarians (mentors) with interested mentees.
This project was initiated when the Membership Committee had a successful and pleasant "CEAL Mentoring Projects/Talking With Experienced Librarians Round Table" at the annual CEAL meeting in March 2004. We present our program here In order to expand on this initial step.
- Duration
We ask potential mentors and mentees to make a one-year commitment to the program.
- Participating
If you are interested in being a mentor or a mentee, please fill out the following application and send it to Jade Atwill (yya2@psu.edu), the chair of the Membership Committee. - Responsibilities
If you agree to be a mentor or a mentee, the CEAL Membership Committee will add your name and information to a list of mentor/mentee candidates. The Committee will have exclusive access to this list.
At that point, we try to match potential mentors with mentees who have similar interests. The only commitment you make if you say "yes" to being on the list is that you will consider accepting a mentee or a mentor when we ask. If at that point (and/or after talking with the proposed mentee or mentor) you feel that he/she is not a good match, you are quite free to say "no." Once the mentor and mentee have agreed to work together for a one year term, the specifics of the arrangement are entirely up to the two individuals involved. This includes the type of communication (phone, email, in person), the topics to be covered, and the amount of time to be spent on the arrangement. There is no pressure. The goal is to facilitate the process of mentees finding appropriate and willing mentors, and creating a learning environment for people interested in East Asian Librarianship.
