For several years now many of you have responded enthusiastically to our request for mentors for our Shadowing Program. This annual event takes FIS students into libraries, information centres and archives for a half-day or a day to observe the life of an Information Professional at work. Once again we invite you to participate, to set aside a few hours to show one or more students the ropes. This is how it works. In early February all submitted information will be transferred to signup sheets and placed in the FIS office.
Students can then sign up for a site visit that matches their career interests.
It will be the responsibility of the students to then contact the host of their choice. Together, the student and host will arrange the visit at a mutually convenient time. Hosts from other cities, for example, may find that their student may not be free to visit until the summer. We have taken the step of moving to a new provider because the ICRM has grown large enough that ARMA International can no longer provide the services we believe our membership deserves. From this point forward, please discontinue using the Prairie Village address, and send all communications through Bennett Business Services.
