Reviews
"Seeing widespread opportunities
for becoming a mentor, the
author advises all librarians to
listen to individuals who might
need assistance. The author
presents a firm case for the need
for mentoring and describes
how formal mentoring projects
may be implemented ... This is
a well-written book that is handy
for active use and, as well, can be
valuable as a continuing reference
source."
--Catholic Library World
"A valuable book on an important topic ... I would recommend Mentoring in the Library to any librarian thinking about seeking out or serving as a mentor."
