The ACRL Distance & Online Learning Section’s Mentoring and Networking Committee invites you to participate in the 2024-2025 cohort of our DOLS Mentorship program. We’re accepting mentor and mentee applicants until Friday, August 16, 2024.
We have double the number of mentees to mentors currently, and would appreciate former mentors who are able to come back for another round. After the deadline, participants will be paired (mentor/mentee) and the mentoring program will run from Sunday, September 1, 2024, until Monday, June 30, 2025.
Mentor and mentee pairs work together to develop goals for the mentee, and communicate regularly to work towards those goals. Mentors and mentees may also develop shared goals, including research projects and publications. Guiding documents are provided by the program to assist in this. Opportunities are provided at regular intervals during the program for all mentors and mentees to connect and share their experiences.
Requirements for Participation: All participants in the DOLS Mentoring Program must be current members of ACRL and DOLS, and have an interest in serving distance/online students. Mentors should have experience serving distance/online students through librarianship, research, service participation, or all three.
How to Apply: Fill out the appropriate application at the link below before our August 16 deadline.
