Information
about the SCOPA Liaison for Mentoring
The SCOPA liaison for the two SCOPA mentoring programs is currently Carla
Heister, who can be reached by phone at 432-5132 or email at carla.heister@yale.edu.
The liaison serves as the official contact person for both mentors and mentees,
and adheres to the following guidelines and procedures:
-
The SCOPA liaison will handle all information gathered from participants
in the mentoring programs confidentially.
-
A librarian who is interested in participating in the Professional Mentoring
Program or anyone interested in the Future Librarian Mentoring Program will
initialize contact with the SCOPA
Liaison.
-
The SCOPA Liaison will send to the potential mentee a questionaire that
will provide information about the mentee's professional goals and objectives.
Once this questionaire is returned to the SCOPA Liaison, the mentee's information
will be matched to several appropriate mentors.
-
The potential mentors will be contacted to verify that they are able to
take on the mentoring responsibility.
-
After a short period of time, the mentee will be contacted again and will
be provided with a list of 2-3 recommended potential mentors.
-
The mentee will select a person from the list and contact the SCOPA liaison.
-
The SCOPA liaison will contact the selected mentor and confirm availability.
Both the mentor and the mentee are contacted to confirm the mentoring agreement.
-
Once the mentoring agreement is established, it is the responsibility of
the mentee to contact the mentor to work out meetings and topics for discussion.
