Be a Mentor to an International Librarian at 2010 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC

The challenge of navigating the ALA Annual Conference can be a daunting experience for librarians from abroad. To help international librarians make the most of their conference experience the ALA International Relations Office is once again coordinating a mentoring program.

Please consider becoming a mentor to an international librarian. A little bit of your time at the conference (and/or correspondence before) to review the conference program, make suggestions on a schedule of programs, how to visit the exhibits, or other helpful hints can help make a big difference for them, and be a rewarding experience for you.

The International Relations Office will strive to match each international librarian who requests a mentor with a librarian who shares a similar area of interest.
