TOPIC
Mentors and mentoring
Having mentors can be a big part of your career, whether they're official or unofficial mentors they help us grow and change as we move through our jobs. Being a mentor is also a big part of moving up as you get more experience/ So let's talk about having mentors and being mentors. I became a Supervisor in 2017, so I've been trying since then to become a better mentor to my student assistants. Last year I read a really good book on the subject: Mentoring and Managing Students in the Academic Library by Michelle Reale
