1) merge some mentoring activities into the ALIAWest portfolio and,
2) establish a formal WA branch of the New Graduates Group.
ALIAWest committee members have agreed to add mentoring support to its portfolio, and to partner with any mentoring projects that may be initiated by a New Graduates Group.
Are new grads here in WA interested in establishing a WA branch of the New Graduates Group?
As stated in the ALIA New Graduates Group charter:
"The group aims to facilitate networking for the new generation of library professionals, provide a forum for the discussion of issues relevant to new professionals, organise meetings and training specifically relevant to students and new graduates and facilitate the introduction of new graduates into the wider ALIA community."
